The Election Commission of India (ECI) has announced a new digital procedure for tribunal judges in West Bengal.
Under the new system, judges will be able to e‑sign their orders and upload them directly to the central database, eliminating the need for physical signatures and manual filing.
This initiative is part of a broader push to digitize electoral dispute resolution across the country, aiming to streamline processes and improve accessibility.
Officials expect the change to reduce backlog, cut processing times, and enhance transparency in tribunal proceedings.
