An NGO called Against Corruption and Unabated Taxation (ACAUT) in the Indian state of Nagaland wants biometric polling piloted towards ensuring the freeness and fairness of elections.Proposing that the state election committee (ECI) adopt Nagaland as a pilot project State to implement its clean E-Roll agenda, ACAUT further asked the ECI to consider introducing biometric EVMs during the next assembly elections in the State.”The State Election Commission should issue notices to all the government servants working in the Nagaland Civil Secretariat, Kohima, to immediately delete their multiple entries of names,” it added.ACAUT stated bogus and multiple entries of names in the E-Roll were the “root of corruption in the State”.Earlier this week, India's nationwide biometrics-backed unique ID number process reached 1 billion registration.
