Amid an ongoing debate on the reliability of Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs), the Delhi State Election Commission (SEC) on Tuesday said that EVMs would be used in the municipal polls.
“As per our knowledge, the EVMs cannot be misused. The government will have to amend the rules if they want paper ballots instead of EVMs. We are proceeding with the election process with EVMs,” said Mr. Srivastava.
He added that the Delhi government had asked for the SEC’s reply on the matter on Tuesday. Mr. Srivastava said the election rules could be changed by the Lieutenant-Governor.
