How is voter privacy and ballot secrecy protected on JANMAT Digital?

JANMAT Digital utilizes salted HMAC-SHA256 privacy tokens. IP addresses and connection identifiers are hashed with a cryptographic salt; raw IPs and personal identifiers are never stored alongside ballot choices.

Can one person vote multiple times using incognito mode, multiple tabs, or bots?

No. The system enforces multi-signal validation combining browser tokens with server-side salted IP hashing, atomic mutex locking, and passive challenge heuristics to prevent duplicate voting.

Is JANMAT Digital affiliated with the Election Commission of India (ECI)?

No. JANMAT Digital is an independent civic-tech platform providing public opinion surveys and institutional election services for RWAs, cooperative societies, trade chambers, and universities. It is not affiliated with the statutory Election Commission of India.

The Chief Minister of Karnataka has officially confirmed that the state government will continue its rigorous investigation into the systematic manipulation of electoral rolls. The probe centers on the misuse of Form 7 applications, which are legally intended for the deletion of names of deceased or ineligible voters but were allegedly weaponized to remove genuine citizens from the voter list.

Administrative Crackdown on Form 7 Misuse

State authorities have initiated legal proceedings against individuals identified for exploiting the Form 7 mechanism. According to the Chief Minister, the filing of these cases has already yielded tangible results, leading to the withdrawal of lakhs of fraudulent applications. This administrative intervention serves as a direct response to concerns regarding the integrity of the General Electoral Roll Revision process in Karnataka.

Protecting Electoral Integrity

The government’s stance highlights the vulnerability of the electoral roll to administrative sabotage. By targeting the misuse of statutory forms, the state aims to prevent voter suppression tactics that threaten the democratic process. The investigation remains active, with officials tasked with identifying the scope of the manipulation and ensuring that no genuine voter is disenfranchised through unauthorized deletions.

Next Steps in the Investigation

While the government has not disclosed specific names of those accused, the focus remains on the procedural integrity of the electoral database. The state government is expected to continue monitoring the submission of Form 7 applications closely to prevent further attempts at mass deletion. Citizens are encouraged to verify their registration status through the Election Commission of India portal to ensure their details remain accurate and intact. The ongoing probe underscores the administration's commitment to maintaining a clean and transparent electoral roll for future elections in the state.
