ECINet, the Election Commission of India ’s (ECI) comprehensive digital platform, has a feature through which viewing of enumeration form details is enabled State by State.
This means that access for State Nodal Officers (SNOs) could be switched off anytime making it a centralised platform, according to an audit by ‘Charchagram’, a civic tech initiative.
The ECINET has a dedicated State Nodal Officer management area (create, manage, update) with a built-in disable action, according to the report, authored by Saurav Rajput, a data scientist and an alumnus of IIT Delhi and IIM Calcutta.
The ECINET is ECI’s unified portal for officials. It joins many small apps under one login like the user management, ERONET, RTI module, and the Enumeration Form Tracker for SIR. Mr. “We only read files the site serves to everyone. In an ideal situation, we should be able to fetch the code of features which are only available on a screen. “The law establishes that EROs have statutory authority over the electoral roll.
it might be recalled that the portal itself was launched in January 2026 While it was not clear since when this feature was available on ECINet. Rajput said he could locate the feature since September 28.
But here even some features which are sitting behind the login credentials are available in the front-end code,” he said. On its part, the Congress party said: “It is by now well-established how [CEC] Gyanesh Kumar, at the instance and instructions of the PM (Narendra Modi) and the HM (Amit Shah), put in place ECINET to centralise all manipulations of the election process. But across the country, the ECINET system and the Election Commission’s IT division have overruled and violated these safeguards,” Congress general secretary (communications) Jairam Ramesh said in a post on X.
