Ujjain (Madhya Pradesh): The cVigil citizen app has been specially prepared by the Election Commission of India (ECI) for an online complaint of cases of violation of the model code of conduct (MCC), in which any person who sees a case of its violation can capture a photo or video from his mobile.
C-Vigil app can be downloaded on mobile from Google Play Store. To use this app, GPS and the internet must be active on the complainant’s mobile. Online complaints regarding violations of MCC can be made through this app only by capturing photos or videos. The video should not be more than two minutes. Videos longer than this cannot be uploaded to the app.
As soon as the complaint is sent on the cVigil app, the complainant will receive a unique ID through which he will be able to track the complaint on his mobile and know its updated status.

If the complaint is found true, then the returning officer will have to send it to the ECI for further action. The special feature of the cVigil app will be that through it any citizen can complain about violations of MCC during elections. The complainant has to be careful that he has to send his complaint within five minutes of capturing the photo or video from the mobile.
