NEA has requested to submit names of the companies who would like to provide E-voting service by April 13. NEA has also requested to provide a technical and financial proposal to organizations/companies whoโd like to provide voting service.
Currently, the professional body is planning to implement E-voting at only one voting center. Since there would be 1 central and 13 provincial voting centers, E-voting would be held at the central voting center.
Since the center has the most voters and it would be easier for counting votes which is the main reason why the center is chosen over the provincial.
