    Why EVMs are problematic?

    Why EVMs are problematic?
    Credits:
  • Although EVMs were supposed to be the cure for booth-capturing during elections in India, they complicated the polling process.

    Firstly, a small component of the machine could be replaced with a look-alike which could steal a percentage of votes in favour of a particular candidate.

    Secondly, a pocket-sized device could change the votes stored in EVMs between the elections and the public counting process.

  • Do you know?

    The origin of the VVPAT-EVM

  • In 2013, the Election Commission introduced the VVPAT-EVM in order to make the polling process more transparent and increase voters' confidence that their vote goes to the candidate of their choice without any errors.

    What is a paper trail-based EVM?

    What is a paper trail-based EVM?
    Credits:
  • Using the Voter Verified Paper Audit Trail (VVPAT) or the paper audit trail machine, a voter will be able to ensure that his/her vote goes to the candidate of his/her choice.

    Upon casting a vote in the VVPAT-linked EVM, a paper slip visible to the voter is printed immediately showing the details of the voter's choice.

    The slip is then preserved for later use.

  • Do you know?

    SC recommends use of VVPAT-EVMs

  • In a Supreme Court ruling in 2013, the SC bench stated that, "confidence of the voters in the EVMs can be achieved only with the introduction of the 'paper trail'", and recommended that the Election Commission to use VVPAT-EVMs.

    VVPAT decision taken after all-party meet

    VVPAT decision taken after all-party meet
  • The decision to conduct elections on VVPATs came after an all-party meet on May 12.

    However, many changed their earlier stance and demanded a combination of VVPATs and EVMs.

    Parties also demanded increase in display time on VVPATs from the current seven seconds, and state funding of polls.

    However, there was no consensus on EC's demand of disqualifying candidates charged with bribery.

  • Information

    Is EC's Hackathon still open?

  • CEC Nasim Zaidi said the poll panel will soon announce dates for an "open challenge" to prove EVMs could be rigged. However, after the all-party meeting, Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal tweeted, "Sad that EC has backed out of hackathon."
