Ahead of the world’s largest election, the Election Commission of India (ECI) launched a ‘Myth vs Reality Register’ in a bid to combat misinformation and uphold integrity of the electoral process. Here’s all you need to know about the new initiative:
The website (https://mythvsreality.eci.gov.in/) will be used as a one-stop platform for credible and authenticated election-related information in an easy-to-access format.
It will debunk myths and misinformation around Electronic Voting Machine (EVM)/Voter Verifiable Paper Audit Trail (VVPAT), Electoral Roll/Voter Services, Conduct of Elections and others.
The platform will also answer Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about the upcoming elections including topics and reference material under different sections for all stakeholders.
The register will be periodically updated by the ECI after analysing and verifying the authenticity of various claims circulating on different media platforms. It will also show the latest busted fakes and fresh FAQs, said the poll panel.
