VotesApp

https://lnkd.in/fG2YT9B For over 5 years, I have been advocating voting using a Mobile App : VotesApp https://lnkd.in/fRk3Gcs Till now, it seemed that political parties ( with vested interests ) would continue to oppose it - ignoring enormous benefits of Time / Money / Efforts that my suggestion offers . Apart from the possibility of being able to get 850 million voters , to complete voting within hours and being able to declare results , within ONE DAY But the demand of 50 % VVPAT verification by 21 opposition parties can be met ( - and exceeded ) by implementing my suggestion ! If for nothing else, than for their lack of faith in EVM , they should come forward and support mobile-based voting I hope Supreme Court uses this petition to usher India to its Digital future !
