CEO to use instant messaging software

M. Rajeev

HYDERABAD: Foolproof measures initiated by authorities for smooth conduct of elections notwithstanding, instances of disruption of the polling process for want of clarity from higher officials are not uncommon.

The election authorities this time round are firm that there will be no failure in communicating instructions to ground level staff on different issues. Leveraging technology, the office of the Chief Electoral Office (CEO) has adopted ‘Instaxx’, instantaneous access to exceptional information system, for the byelections slated for May 29.

Developed by the Centre for Good Governance and tailor-made for election purposes, the software involves instant messaging to officials at various levels, right from assistant returning officers at the constituency level to the CEO. It combines the functions of the Short Messaging Service, e-mail and fax. The moment the CEO’s office receives communication from the Election Commission, it will be sent as SMS to the mobile phones of field-level officials followed by e-mails to their respective mail Ids.
