IIT Delhi’s E-Voting Success Sparks New Era of Transparent, Tech-Driven Student Elections

In a milestone step for digital innovation and campus democracy, IIT Delhi completed its CAIC (Committee for Academic and Institutional Collaboration) student elections successfully using only e-voting. The elections on April 25 and 29, 2025, were conducted using the OpenVoting platform, providing a smooth, transparent, and secure voting experience for the students.

Highlights:

The process of e-voting facilitated mass participation and effective vote counting, which is a major leap from paper ballots.

The initiative is seen as a potential model for scaling up to larger platforms within and beyond the institute, reflecting IIT Delhi’s commitment to digital transformation and participatory governance.

The success of this digital election underscores the institute’s broader push towards technological solutions in academic administration and student engagement.

This feat puts IIT Delhi at the vanguard of digital governance in higher education, with expansion plans for the e-voting system for wider institutional and potentially national application.
