Port Blair, Feb 20: In order to enhance transparency in elections, the Election Commission of India has introduced a new application to monitor use of money power and poll inducements to influence the electorate, which disturbs the level-playing field in elections. The application, called Election Seizure Management System (ESMS) will also monitor action taken by central and state enforcement agencies against such offences. ESMS is a platform where all the central and state enforcement agencies will be on boarded.

The new technology is aimed at enabling real time updates from the ground-level as well as ensure effective coordination and intelligence sharing between the enforcement agencies.

ESMS Mobile App is used to digitize data for intercepted/Seized items (Cash/Liquor/Drugs/Precious Metal/Freebies/Other items) direct from field through Mobile App during Model Code of Conduct.
