Summary:
VVPAT machines, which are currently deployed only in certain constituencies, display to the voter the candidate and party he has voted for, for a period of seven seconds. The Arvind Kejriwal-led government alleges that the BJP government tampered with EVM machines during some of the recently-concluded by-polls. AAP alleges that other machines can be tampered with in such a way that any vote cast will reflect in favour of the BJP. “Cannot order use of VVPAT EVMs at the 11th hour as it would amount to stalling the election process,” the High Court observed, according to news agency PTI.
