Cand Set Section

This section contains
(i) ‘Close’ button used for closing the poll,
(ii) two ‘Result I’ & ‘Result II’ buttons for ascertaining the results and
(iii) ‘Clear’ button for clearing the data recorded in the machine when not required.

** In the bottom most portion of the control unit, there are two buttons-one marked ‘Ballot’ by pressing which the balloting unit becomes ready to record vote and the other marked ‘Total’ by pressing which the total number of votes recorded upto that stage can be ascertained.

** Please note that by pressing the total button the display indicates only the total votes and not candidate-wise tally.
** This section is known as the ‘Ballot Section’ of the control unit.
** The machine operates on a 9-volt alkaline battery and can be used anywhere and under any conditions. It is tamper-proof, error-free and easy to operate.
** Both the units of the machine are supplied in two separate carrying cases.
** The polling information once recorded in the machine is retained in its memory even when the battery is removed.

** The machine, especially balloting unit, is so designed as to keep intact all essential features of the present voting system and the only change is that the voter is required to press the blue button provided opposite the name and symbol of the candidate of his choice as against the use of an arrow cross mark rubber stamp which is put on the ballot paper on or near the symbol of his choice under the conventional system of voting.

** The process of voting by voting machine is very simple, quicker and foolproof.
** Every vote is recorded accurately and there is no invalid vote.
