Ratings and reviews

Sharing my experience trying the new app for overseas voting by the Election Commission. It's my first time, so it's a bit challenging, but I'm satisfied overall. It's easy for those who know how, and tough for those who don't. Instead of blaming the Election Commission, let's acknowledge it's a new system and there might be some teething issues. The app is a great initiative - register with your NID and give it a shot! 😊

It's hard to go through selfie verification process after receiving ballot.Tried several times from yesterday but couldn't get this done! says "connection timeout please try again" Well I was able to go through the selfie verification process, but when a list of candidates appeared on my screen then I pressed "vote cast" then it shows 'sorry we are unable to process your request at the moment. Please try again later 'then it brings me to the log in page . Tried couple of times bt still same!

App is smooth however the face detection phase is problematic and not recognizing me until over a dozen attempts. This did not happen before the 21 jan update. Also the "candidate and symbols" are failing to load showing a grey blank image. If it loads the options are unresponsive. Tried on several phones. When Pressing on 'Vote cast' app does not give a pop up to reconfirm your choice. Instead it directly proceeds to vote and loads next stage. This is bad system design. please fix this asap.
