** The polling data once recorded is retained even when the power pack is removed
What is the Need? :
** Modernises the election process
** Simple to operate and can be installed in a short time
** No scope for invalid votes
** Total secrecy of voting data
** Facilitates quick and accurate counting possible to declare results on the same day
** Re-usable by simply resetting the machine for the next election
** Huge expenditure involved in printing, storing and transportation of ballot papers is avoided
How does the voter use it? :
** The process is basically the same as the present method
** The voter is identified, his/her signature obtained and indelible ink mark put on the index finger
** Instead of being given a ballot paper at this stage a ballot is released by pressing a button on the Control Unit
** The voter then proceeds to the Voting Compartment where the Balloting Unit is kept and votes in secrecy
** The balloting Unit has a conventional Ballot Paper (with names and symbols of the contestants) displayed and secured under a transparent protective cover
** The voter simply presses a button against the candidate of his/her choice
** A light adjacent to the button pressed glows red followed by a beep indicating the vote is recorded
How Are the Votes Counted? :
** At the end of the poll, the Control Unit and Ballot Unit are switched off and sealed in separate carrying cases in the presence of the candidates or their agents
** They are then sent to secure storage centers till the day of the counting
** On the day of counting the Control Units are taken to the counting tables
** On pressing the “RESULT” button the Control Unit displays the following
** Total No. of votes cast
** Individual votes recorded against each of the candidates
Is It Fail Proof? :
** The EVM has been specially designed to collect, record, store, count and display voting data cent per cent accurately
** All mechanical, electrical and software security features are provided to ensure the integrity of the voting data
Can it be tampered with or rigged? :
** It is a state-of-the-art electronic instrument that cannot be tampered with
** It incorporates a microprocessor that has ‘burnt in’ software which cannot be altered or replaced
** In case of a booth capture, the presiding Officer can shutdown the EVM by pressing the “CLOSE” button
** No votes can be cast on that unit thereafter
** On resumption of voting, another EVM must be used to continue the poll
