Any Booth Voting: A Revolutionary Step Towards Inclusive and Migrant-Friendly Indian Elections

Every election season in India tells two parallel stories. One is about democracy in action, long queues, inked fingers, and the celebration of the world’s largest electoral exercise. The other is quieter and more painful: millions of Indian citizens are unable to vote simply because they are not in their hometowns. Government officials, Migrant labourers, students, young professionals, gig workers and tech employees often watch elections unfold from afar, knowing that their right to vote exists on paper but not in practice.

This is where Any Booth Voting emerges not just as a technological innovation, but as a democratic necessity.

How Any Booth Voting can be implemented in Indian National Elections, offering a powerful vision of a future where location no longer decides participation. It is not just about convenience; it is about restoring the constitutional promise of universal adult suffrage.

The Migrant Voting Crisis India Rarely Talks About

India has over 450 million internal migrants. These include construction workers moving from state to state, students studying far from home, IT professionals posted in different cities, factory workers, domestic helpers and daily wage earners. For many of them, election day is a working day, not a holiday. Travelling back to their home constituency often means losing wages, risking jobs or spending money they simply cannot afford.

As a result, voter turnout statistics hide a silent exclusion. These citizens are registered voters, but functionally disenfranchised. Any Booth Voting directly addresses this gap.

What Is Any Booth Voting?

Any Booth eVoting allows a voter to cast their vote from any authorised polling booth in India, regardless of where they are registered. A voter from Bihar working in Bengaluru, or a student from Assam studying in Delhi, can walk into a nearby polling booth and vote for their home constituency securely, privately and anonymously.

The idea is simple, but the technology behind it is deeply innovative.

Aadhaar-Based Biometric Verification: Trust at the Core

The foundation of Any Booth Voting is Aadhaar-based biometric verification. Before a vote is cast, the voter’s identity is authenticated using biometrics such as a fingerprint or an iris scan, ensuring that:

• The voter is genuine
• The voter is registered
• The voter votes only once

This instantly eliminates impersonation, duplicate voting and booth capturing, issues that traditional systems have struggled with for decades.

Unlike manual ID checks and the inking of a finger, biometric verification does not depend on human discretion. It is fast, objective, and no one can manipulate this. In a country as diverse and populous as India, this level of verification is not just helpful; it is essential. India is currently stuck in 20th-century technology, where we ink the finger of a voter to guard against duplicate voting. The whole controversy relating to the ink used in the Maharashtra municipal election is just crazy. Such primitive controls are just a waste of time, money and effort. Aadhaar-based biometric verification is the only 100% full proof solution.

One Digital Screen, Infinite Constituencies

One of the most innovative aspects of this solution is the use of a digital ballot display. Instead of requiring separate EVMs for each constituency, a single digital interface can dynamically load the ballot of any constituency in India.

Once the voter’s identity and constituency are verified, the screen automatically displays the relevantcandidates and symbols. The voter does not even need to feed in his constituency. The system knows. The voter casts their vote just as they would on a traditional EVM. Simple, familiar and secure.

This solves a massive logistical problem. No additional machines, no parallel infrastructure and no physical transportation of constituency-specific EVMs across the country.

Internet-Enabled Voting and Instant Counting

Any Booth Voting also opens the door to internet-enabled vote transmission, under strict security protocols. Votes are encrypted end-to-end and transmitted securely to the central cloud computing infrastructure.

The result?
Instant and automatic vote counting, with zero human intervention.

This dramatically reduces:

• Counting delays
• Human errors
• Allegations of manipulation during counting
• Administrative costs

Election results that once took days can be computed accurately within minutes, without compromising transparency or auditability.

Security Without Compromise

Whenever new voting technology is discussed, the first and most valid concern is security. Any Booth Voting addresses this head-on.

With biometric authentication, encrypted vote transmission, digital audit logs and real-time system monitoring, the process becomes more secure than most existing manual systems. Every action is logged, traceable, and verifiable without revealing voter choice.

Most importantly, voter privacy remains intact. Identity verification and vote casting are strictly separated, ensuring that no one, not even the system, can link a voter to their chosen candidate.

Protecting the Right to Vote for Migrants

At its heart, Any Booth Voting is about protecting the fundamental right to vote for citizens who are most likely to lose it because of internal migration. For migrant labourers, it removes the harsh choice between casting a vote and earning a day’s income, a decision that often forces democracy to take a back seat to survival. For students studying far from home, it restores their ability to participate in shaping the nation they will soon inherit. For Government Officials, professionals, gig workers and employees in transferable jobs, it ensures they remain politically connected despite frequent relocation. In a rapidly modernising India where mobility defines opportunity, employment and education, democracy cannot remain tied to a fixed residential address. To stay truly inclusive, the electoral system must adapt to the realities of a mobile population and travel with its people.

Strengthening Democracy, Not Replacing It

Any Booth Voting does not replace traditional voting; it strengthens it. It builds on existing electoral frameworks while adapting them to present-day realities. It respects the Election Commission’s role, legal safeguards and the familiarity voters have with booth-based voting.

This is not about futuristic experimentation. It is about using proven digital infrastructure, Aadhaar, secure networks and encrypted systems just to solve a real persistent problem.

A Vision of an Inclusive Electoral Future

Imagine an India where voter turnout reflects true participation, not geographic privilege. Where migration for work or education does not weaken the democratic voice. Where elections are faster, fairer and more inclusive. That is the promise of Any Booth Voting. The Right2Vote’s video offers a glimpse into this future not as a distant dream, but as a practical, achievable system. With the right regulatory framework, pilot programs and public trust, Any Booth Voting can redefine how India votes, without diluting the sanctity of elections.

Conclusion: Democracy Must Move With the People

India’s democracy has always evolved – from paper ballots to EVMs, voter IDs and digital rolls. Any Booth Voting is the next logical step in that journey.

In a country where people move for survival, growth and aspiration, democracy must move with them. Technology now makes it possible. What remains is the collective will to ensure that no Indian is denied their vote simply because they are away from home. Any Booth Voting is not just an innovation.
It is a reaffirmation of the fundamental right to vote for every Indian, anywhere, anytime and everywhere.
