The shift to e-governance

E-governance plays a vital role in nurturing and strengthening democratic foundations.

The Election Commission’s decision to integrate biometric data collected for the National Identity Card (NID) into the voter registration process resulted in a notable surge in voter registrations. While 344,914 citizens visited election offices for on-site biometric enrolment, an additional 492,180 registered online using their NID biometrics. This initiative not only reflects the public’s eagerness but also highlights the potential of e-governance in strengthening civic participation and expanding the scope of governance.
