As the 2019 Lok Sabha elections are nearing, the Election Commission of India (ECI) has launched Cvigil smartphone application to curb the flow of money. The application was launched on Wednesday and was first implemented in Maharashtra.

ECI had claimed that the CVigil application has been launched to curb down irregularities in the flow of money during the 2019 Lok Sabha Election and appealed to the people to report such activities through the app in order to conduct a fair election. The step was taken since it is practically impossible for the officials and flying squads to keep eyes on every corner of Maharastra.
