cVigil App: cVIGIL provides time-stamped evidentiary proof of model code of conduct / Expenditure Violation, having live photo/video with auto location data. This unique combination of timestamping and live photo with auto location can be fairly relied upon by by-election machinery to navigate to the right spot and take prompt action. The GIS-based dashboard provides a strong decision tool to drop and dispose of frivolous and unrelated cases even before they are acted upon, thereby reducing the workload of election machinery on ghost complaints.

The new cVIGIL app launched by the Election Commission of India is expected to fill in all these gaps and create a fast-track complaint reception and redressal system. cVIGIL stands for Vigilant Citizen and emphasizes the proactive and responsible role citizens can play in the conduct of free and fair elections.
Presently there is a lack of fast information channels to transmit and track complaints on MCC violations. Delay in reporting Model Code of Conduct (MCC) violations has often resulted in the culprits escaping detection from the flying squads of the election commission entrusted to ensure enforcement of the Model Code of Conduct. Further, the lack of any documented, untampered, evidence in the form of pictures or videos was a major hurdle in establishing the veracity of a complaint ex post facto. This an exciting tool that takes the guesswork out of voting and allows everyone to participate in elections at the local, state, and federal level! You can see all your upcoming elections and candidates, participate in polls, and even figure out who to vote for by who shares your beliefs
The Commission’s experience has also shown a significant percentage of reporting was false or inaccurate, which led to the waste of precious time of Field Units.
Citizens are, encouraged to use the ECI main website for lodging the other type of complaints or call the National Contact Centre at 1800111950 or State Contact Centre at 1950 for other complaints.
