cVIGIL

cVIGIL is an innovative Chrome extension launched by the Election Commission of India that empowers citizens to actively participate in ensuring free and fair elections. It allows users to report Model Code of Conduct (MCC) or expenditure violations with timestamped photographic or video evidence captured along with automatic location data. This precise evidence helps election officials quickly verify complaints and take immediate action.

The platform utilizes a GIS-based dashboard to effectively filter out frivolous or unrelated complaints, decreasing the workload on election personnel and improving the efficiency of enforcement squads. By providing a fast, accurate, and reliable channel for reporting violations, cVIGIL ensures greater transparency and accountability in the election process, fostering a vigilant and responsible citizenry.
