Indian Election Commission awakens to the tech age
Last week, when I was travelling on the bus to work, I happened to notice the following news items.
-
BJP opens its website.
It is a pretty crappily designed site - atleast when viewed in Firefox. Go see for yourself.
(www.bjp.org)
-
Election Commission considers placing of e-ads (ads in websites/popups etc) as election propaganda material, and costs towards placing these should be accounted for.
-
There will be a timing restriction on election propaganda SMS's.
It is heartening to see, that the EC, and some of the parties are waking up to the tech-age ... atlast.
