The India election committee has re-confirmed the credibility of electronic voting machines and declares them that they are being broken after an extensive control and verification exercise in Maharashtra. Read on to know more about this.
The exercise included 48 voting units, 31 control units and 31 voter -repairable paper audit paths (VVPATs).
The election committee of India (ECI) has re -confirmed the credibility of electronic voting machines (EVMs) and explains them that they are being broken after an extensive control and verification (C&V) that was carried out in Maharashtra. The process was started after applying for 10 candidates who had disputed the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly elections in 2024. According to the ECI Press Note that was published on Thursday, the Chief Electoral Officer of Maharashtra carried out the C&V procedure between 10 AssemblageCollies.
The exercise included 48 ballot papers (bus), 31 control units (CUS) and 31 voter Verifiable paper audit paths (VVPATs). The verification confirmed that all machines were in good condition and no mismatches were found between the EVM results and VVPAT briefs. “This exercise proves once again that the EVMs are sabotage-proof,” emphasized the poll panel. The tests were carried out in the presence of eight of the 10 candidates, including eight applicants who lost candidates and who had applied for the C&V together with other candidates who had disputed or their representatives.
Diagnostic tests for verifying the burnt memory and microcontroller were performed in constituencies, including 147-Kopri-Pachakhadi, 148-Thane, 211-Khadakwasala and 229-Majalgaon. Authorized Ecil Engineers, the Machines manufacturer, stated that all devices passed the tests successfully. In constituents such as 188-panel, 192-panel (Raigad District), 80-Arni (Yavatmal District), 119-Yevla (District Nashik), 271-Chandgad and 276-Kolhapur North (both in the Kolhapur-Tests district), were diagnostic tests.
The results of the operating units were perfectly in line with the VVPAT slipping, which re -confirm the reliability of the system. “After the diagnostic test, the authorized engineers from the manufacturer (ECIL) stated that all machines have passed the diagnostic tests,” said the poll panel. “After that, a fake poll was carried out on the machines according to the candidates’s request. The results of the EVM (of the control unit) were verified with the number of VVPAT slips and no mismatch was found,” it added.
