Congress Approaches Supreme Court Over Centre’s Tweak to Election Rules on CCTV Access
The Congress party has moved to the Supreme Court challenging the Centre's recent change to election rules that restrict public access to certain electronic documents, including CCTV footage, webcasting, and video recordings of candidates. The opposition claims the move erodes the integrity of the electoral process, while the government defends the change as necessary to prevent the misuse of such footage. Election Commission officials warn that footage from inside polling booths could compromise voter secrecy and be used to create false narratives using AI technology.
