SC to hear today plea for verification of EVMs used in Haryana
The Supreme Court is slated to hear on Friday a plea filed by Congress leaders seeking verification of Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) used during the Haryana Assembly polls.
The Supreme Court is slated to hear on Friday a plea filed by Congress leaders seeking verification of Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) used during the Haryana Assembly polls.
Chief Election Commissioner Rajiv Kumar on Tuesday dismissed the claims of hacking and tampering electronic voting machines (EVMs), saying there is no scope for such manipulations as the machines are foolproof.
Slamming Congress for questioning Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs), the BJP on Wednesday said the politics of the grand old party has been reduced to mere accusations and frustration.
Supreme Court has dismissed a petition seeking review of its judgement rejecting plea for 100 per cent verification of Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) votes with their Voter Verifiable Paper Audit Trail (VVPAT) slips.
The latest statement of the Congress leader came a day after he called EVMs a ‘black box’ in India that cannot be scrutinised, in the wake of a media report claiming EVM hacking at Mumbai North West parliamentary constituency in the recently concluded Lok Sabha polls.
Tagging the tweet which carried the video, Priyanka Gandhi said every time there is an election, videos of private vehicles caught transporting EVMs show up.
The Election Commission (EC) has set January 30 as the date for the election of Dhaka South City Corporation (DSCC) and Dhaka North City Corporation (DNCC).
The States and UTs were further asked to take adequate measures for the security of strongrooms and venues of counting of votes.
The Commission said the VVPAT verification will be done after the counting of votes and not before.
On Tuesday, 22 Opposition parties demanded that VVPAT slips at randomly selected five polling booths be counted first, and if any discrepancy occurs, then VVPAT slips be tallied for the entire assembly segments.
