EC to roll out QR identity cards at counting centres to stop fake entry

A three layer check will use QR scanning at the innermost cordon

The Election Commission will introduce QR code based identity cards at counting centres for upcoming assembly elections, aiming to curb unauthorized entry. A three layer security process will first verify IDs manually at early checkpoints, then require QR code scanning at the innermost cordon before entry. The move is designed to improve both transparency and efficiency in vote counting.
