After the implementation of the code of conduct for the Lok Sabha elections, 250 complaints have been lodged in the state through the cVIGIL app.

This includes putting up posters and banners without permission, distributing gifts and coupons, distributing money, giving religious inducements and other matters. Collectors have reported that after the complaint all the complaints have been investigated.

Chief Electoral Officer Anupam Rajan said that as soon as the Model Code of Conduct came into force, complaints started being received on the C-Vigil app. Till March 22, a total of 173 complaints have been received through this app from all the districts of the state. All these complaints have been resolved promptly.

Rajan has told the citizens of the state that if they want to make any direct complaint related to violation of the Model Code of Conduct in elections, they can do so through the  cVIGIL  app.

For this, the concerned citizen will have to go to Google Play Store and download the  cVIGIL  app. For this, whenever a citizen gets information about any such incident, he will have to upload a photo or video on the  cVIGIL  app. After receiving the complaint, action will be taken within the next 100 minutes.

The cVIGIL app has been developed by the Election Commission of India for redressal of complaints regarding violation of Model Code of Conduct. Through this app, any citizen can prevent the political parties or candidates from distributing money, material, clothes, jewellery, etc. in any way to woo the voters, threatening the voters to vote in their favor, sending voters in their own vehicle. Can complain about other types of complaints including transportation, putting promotional material on the building or walls of a building owner without his permission or writing advertisements on the wall.
