Zaidi said the EC has already announced that in all future elections to Lok Sabha and state assemblies, VVPAT machines would be attached to all EVMs.
Briefing reporters after the EVM challenge, Chief Election Commissioner Nasim Zaidi said the issue of ‘tamperability of machines should be closed with the end of the challenge’.
Election Commission will offer its EVMs to political parties to try and prove that they can be tampered with.
Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Nasim Zaidi said that political parties can test reliability of machines from June 3.
Nasim Zaidi said that the poll body intends to use Voter-Verified Paper Audit Trail (VVPAT) in all coming elections to bring in more transparency and boosting the confidence of people in the electoral process.
The Election Commission has urged the government to speed up release of funds for timely procurement of paper trail machines so that these can be deployed in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections.
