Interactive Voice Response System

Interactive Voice Response System


Context: Recently, voters have been receiving Interactive Voice Response System (IVRS) calls daily, and there is a growing demand for the Election Commission of India (ECI) to initiate an inquiry into how the service providers of various telecom firms shared our mobile phone numbers with political parties.


These calls break the law outlined in the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) Act, 1997. Every day, countless voters are bothered by these IVRS calls. The Election Commission of India (ECI) needs to act fast to safeguard voters\' privacy and maintain a fair election process.
