**Stakeholder:** State Election Commission of Bihar

**Key Metrics:** 80,000 to 400 reduction in legal dispute petitions; 100% vote-tally verification accuracy across 60 municipalities.

## Executive Summary

Administering elections in India represents one of the world's most massive democratic exercises. In regional state elections, manual tabulation and recording of Electronic Voting Machine (EVM) displays have historically generated tens of thousands of legal disputes, accusations of tampering, and slow counting processes. To solve this, the **State Election Commission of Bihar** deployed **Staqu's JARVIS AI** platform to automate EVM screen reading and video-record the entire vote-counting process.

## The Core Problem: EVM Verification & Dispute Petitions

In previous election cycles, approximately **80,000 legal petitions** were filed challenging manual tally sheets and counting delays. Tabulation errors made by exhausted election staff during late-night counts undermined public confidence and prolonged election declaration times.

## The AI Solution: Optical Character Recognition (OCR) & Video Timestamps

Staqu deployed a lightweight, camera-based automated OCR solution:

1. **Live Camera EVM Focus:** Overhead HD cameras were positioned above EVM control units at all counting tables.

2. **Automated OCR Digitization:** As each EVM unit displayed candidate vote counts, JARVIS's OCR engine extracted the numerical values in milliseconds.

3. **Cryptographic Video Linking:** Every candidate's vote total was automatically populated into digital tally sheets alongside a 5-second encrypted video clip of the physical EVM display.

4. **Instant Telecasting & Central Audit:** State election officers in Patna monitored live dashboards displaying real-time aggregated counts with zero human data-entry bottlenecks.

## Measured Real-World Results

- **99.5% Drop in Election Petitions:** Legal dispute petitions plummeted from **80,000 in prior manual elections to only 400** following JARVIS automation.

- **Counting Time Reduced to 30 Minutes:** In municipalities such as Madhepura, counting that historically took 12+ hours was completed in under 30 minutes.

- **100% Data Integrity:** Digitized ledgers provided indisputable visual video proof for every vote recorded.
