IMPHAL: To go the digital way in upcoming Manipur assembly polls, the state government on Wednesday launched a new mobile application called “e-Manipur election” which will provide several key information to the voters.

Project head Ramayan, who was in-charge of developing it, said that some of the features have been introduced for the first time in the state and the country as well.
He said such an app was first launched in Bihar and then in West Bengal in their respective last elections. Later, Manipur authorities urged the Election Commission to devise it for the state.

The four features, namely, voter slip, location of nearest booth, way to booth, and complaint through WhatsApp will assist the electorate in casting their votes easily than before, Ramayan added.
