[Jan] Electronic Voting Machine

Question 1

Working details?

Answer 1

• An EVM consists of two units, namely, Control Unit (CU) and Balloting Unit (BU) with a cable for connecting both. A Balloting Unit caters up to 16 candidates.
• Since the standalone single-chip device is not connected to any network, it has been deemed to be robust.
• The addition of Voter Verifiable Paper Audit Trail as an independent system attached with the Electronic Voting Machines, that allows the voters to verify that their votes are cast as intended has increased the layer of protection against any malpractices.
