New Delhi: The Election Commission has decided not to pursue its proposed tie-up with internet giant Google after concerns over national security were raised from several quarters, including major parties.

The U.S-based Google had earlier this week made a formal presentation to the Election Commission proposing a tie-up with it for voter facilitation services ahead of Lok Sabha elections.

The Commission, in its meeting in New Delhi on Thursday which was attended by Chief Election Commissioner V.S. Sampath and Election Commissioners H.S. Brahma and S.N.A. Zaidi, deliberated on the issue and decided not to go ahead.

“After due consideration, the Commission has decided not to pursue it any further,” said an EC official.

The EC said Google had proposed to provide electoral look up services for citizens to help in Commission’s efforts for better electoral information services.
