Remote voting not an easy subject...it's work in progress: CEC Rajiv Kumar

Chief Election Commissioner Rajiv Kumar on Wednesday described the EC proposal on remote voting as a "work in progress" saying it was not an easy subject and reaching decisions in a democracy takes time. Responding to questions on the recent all-party consultations on remote voting, he said it was "successful" with representatives of recognised parties sitting through the entire day.

He said urban voters, youth and domestic migrants form part of the 30 crore voters who did not participate in the last LS elections. "It is not an easy subject. Taking decision in a democracy takes time.... It's a work in progress," he said.
