Election Commission of India launches Garuda App for Digital Mapping of Polling Booths

The Election Commission of India (ECI) has launched the Garuda app for the digital mapping of all polling stations. The Garuda app will contain data such as latitude and longitude of the polling stations and will ensure faster, smarter, transparent, and timely completion of election work.

Through the Garuda app, Booth Level Officers (BLO) will upload photos and location information of the polling stations, along with data like latitude and longitude of the centre, from their registered mobile numbers. The app will also help in reducing the paperwork.
