Before the implementation of ERONet ( Centralized Software for Electoral Roll Management and Form Processing), Each State was using ERMS software for state-specific ERoll Management and Form Processing.
The ERONET has been designed and developed keeping in mind the need of Centralized form Processing and monitoring the work of all the Officials involved in Form Processing. For this single unified Database was created and all the existing ER data were migrated to it from State-Specific databases.
This created UNPER. The centralized Form Entry was made online via NVSP and all the State portals were closed thereby making data entry smooth into the system. Further Role-based access for form processing was finalized and this allowed Officials involved in the processing of the form to mandatory process the form through their own Login thus by creating accountability by means of audit trails maintained in the System.
The Application handles close to 8 crore forms per year for New Inclusion/ Change of Demographic Details/ Migration and Deletion from Electoral Roll of India. It was launched in Jan 2018.
