The 'Voter-in-Queue' app released by the Election Commission will provide information on the queue of voters at polling centers on the day of elections. With the app's information, voters can vote according to their convenience. This app will also help to increase voter turnout.

Karnal, Deputy Commissioner cum District Election Officer, Sh. Uttam Singh stated that the Election Commission is taking significant steps to increase voter turnout during the Lok Sabha elections. For the upcoming Lok Sabha 2024 general elections scheduled for May 25, the 'Voter-in-Queue' app has been launched by the commission to make vital decisions. Through this, voters can see the live crowd at the polling centers on the day of the election, allowing them to go to the centre to vote according to their convenience. Many times, voters leave without casting their votes after seeing the crowd. But now, through this app, information about the polling centers will be available. He informed that the Election Commission of India has also approved the use of the 'Voter-In-Queue' mobile app.

Singh stated that on the mobile app, voters will feed information such as the name of their area, the name of the polling booth, the voter's name, etc., and they will receive an OTP.

Through this OTP, they can connect directly with the BLO at the booth. The BLO will update the app about the number of people standing in the queue every hour or half an hour.
