Queries on Lok Sabha Election 2019? Election Commission is now on Twitter to answer them

As political parties gear up for the latest electoral battle scheduled to be held from 11 April, the Election Commission is now on Twitter to directly answer all voting process related queries. With the staggering volume of conversations on Twitter, the number of people who turn to the microblogging site has significantly grown since the 2014 Lok Sabha election. Leaders across the political spectrum also put forward their views or squabbles on the social media platform. After introducing an app and a helpline number, the organising body of elections in India is now on Twitter with the handle @ECISVEEP,  to answer your queries. The EC, using #DeshKaMahaTyohar, has already started posting their educational and informational videos to spread voter awareness.
