Electronic Voting Machines

Opposition in the dark as contractors begin first level checks on voting machines to be used in Maharashtra and Haryana Assembly elections scheduled for later this year.
Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal has accused BJP of programming EVMs to win the Lok Sabha polls.
CM Naidu said three hours of polling time had been wasted because of faulty EVMs.
The candidate was angry that names had not been displayed properly on the EVM.
The photograph will be printed on the Electronic Voting Machine (EVM) ballot units as well as on postal ballot papers, the EC said.
The Election Commission has asserted that it firmly stands by the foolproof nature of its machines.
The poll panel reiterated that the EVMs used by it are manufactured by BEL and ECIL, both state-owned, under very strict supervisory and security conditions.
