Appropriate use of technology has become a "game changer" in elections and can help in meeting many challenges, Election Commissioner H.S. Brahma said Monday.

During an interaction with a delegation of MPs from Bangladesh, Brahma underscored the need for increased voter enrollment and encouraging the registered voters to come out to vote, a release said here.
