EC takes 21 initiatives in 100 days to streamline poll management
In a bid to enhance voter experience and streamline poll management, the Election Commission has launched 21 new initiatives over the past 100 days, officials said on Thursday. These measures, they pointed out, span procedural reforms, training programmes and stakeholder engagement. The measures have marked the first 100 days of the 26th Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, they noted. To improve voter access, the poll authority has revised the maximum number of electors per polling station from 1,500 to 1,200. Additional polling booths will be set up in densely populated areas such as gated communities and high-rise buildings. The Commission, they said, aims to ensure that no voter is required to travel more than 2 km to cast their vote. Voter information slips have been redesigned for clarity on the polling station number. As a significant boost to the convenience of voters, a mobile phone deposit facility will be set up at the entrance of every polling station. Booths set up by candidates will now be permitted just beyond 100 metres from the entrance of the polling station gate as opposed to 200 metres from the polling station premises. To facilitate a simpler user interface, a single-point new integrated dashboard, ECINET, has been developed with the aim to provide all services for all stakeholders at a single point instead of the existing 40-plus applications. The poll panel has also initiated direct integration of death registration data from the Registrar General of India to enable timely and verified removal of deceased electors from the rolls. A special summary revision has been held ahead of a byelection as prescribed in the law. This is the first such exercise to be conducted ahead of a byelection in decades, the officials said. In a move to institutionalise regular interaction with political stakeholders, the EC facilitated 4,719 meetings across the country with participation from over 28,000 political party representatives. The Commission has also held consultations here with leaders of recognised political parties, including AAP, BJP, BSP, CPI(M) and NPP, with more meetings with the national political parties and state political parties planned after the current bypolls. A comprehensive training framework has been developed for 28 categories of stakeholders identified across the electoral process. These modules are based on provisions of the Representation of the People Acts, 1950 and 1951; the Registration of Electors Rules, 1960; and the Conduct of Election Rules, 1961, along with EC's instructions. Among other reforms, the EC has implemented biometric attendance at its headquarters, activated the E-Office system and held regular CEO-level review meetings. These measures are intended to improve internal coordination and operational efficiency.

K-P to outsource eight primary schools
The Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa government has been working to outsource eight newly established primary schools through the public-private partnership model in the province. It was revealed during a high level meeting chaired by Chief Secretary Shahab Ali Shah with administrative secretaries and senior officials to review departmental progress and issue directives aimed at strengthening governance, promoting transparency, and expediting public service delivery across the province. During the meeting, the chief secretary announced that the implementation mechanism for the province's paperless government initiative under the E-Office system is in place, with the formal launch scheduled for April 30. The system is currently undergoing testing, and once operational, it is expected to significantly enhance transparency, save time, and improve administrative efficiency through complete digitization. In a key move to attract domestic and foreign investments, the chief secretary highlighted the importance of a Special Investment Facilitation Council (SIFC) cell within the Planning and Development Department. Lead department working groups have been notified under the SIFC investment acceleration framework. A comprehensive project inventory document, detailing investment-ready projects and sectoral priorities, is set to be launched by May 30. The chief secretary directed departments to prioritize high-impact projects and those nearing completion to accelerate benefits to the public. Reviewing the release and utilization of development funds, the chief secretary stressed the need for timely expenditure, particularly on schemes aimed at public welfare. A centralized project tracking system has been put in place to monitor progress on critical initiatives, with all departments instructed to ensure strict compliance with timelines. Public-Private Partnership (PPP) initiatives also featured prominently in the meeting. Officials presented tourism-related PPP projects, including recreational parks and motorways.
