- The Election Commission of India created the software ‘Encore’ in November 2023.
- ‘Enabling Communications on Real-Time Environment’ is its full name.
- The Encore Counting Application, Encore Scrutiny Application, and Encore Nodal Application are the three components of this application.
- The Returning Officers can digitize the votes cast, tabulate the round-by-round data, and then extract different statutory reports of the counting using the end-to-end encrypted Encore Counting Application.
- The Returning Officers can review the nominations that candidates have submitted online by using a different tool called the Encore Scrutiny tool.
- This aids in the preparation of the final contestant list by the Returning Officer.
- The Encore Nodal App is the place to get a No Objection Certificate (NOC) for events including rallies and gatherings.
