Supreme Court's 4 Questions To Election Commission On How VVPATs Work
Supreme Court's 4 Questions To Election Commission On How VVPATs Work
The Supreme Court will today pronounce its verdict on a batch of petitions seeking directions to tally Voter-Verifiable Paper Audit Trail (VVPAT) slips with votes cast through Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) during the elections.
A bench of Justices Sanjiv Khanna and Dipankar Datta this morning asked a senior official of the Election Commission of India (ECI) to be present in the court at 2 pm to answer a few queries.
1. Microcontroller is installed in the controlling unit or the VVPAT?
2. The microcontroller is one time programmable?
3. Symbol loading units. How many are available with the Election Commission?
4. Limitation period for filing election petition is 30 days you said and so storage and records is maintained for 45 days. But limitation day is 45 days, you have to correct it.
"We just wanted a few clarifications, factually we should be on the page. Please call the officer at 2 pm," the top court said.
The bench will now convene at 2 pm.
In the last hearing, the bench interacted with election officials to understand the functioning of EVMs.
Appearing before the election commission, senior advocate Maninder Singh told the court that EVMs are independent machines and cannot be tampered with, but the possibility of human error cannot be ruled out.
Emphasizing that the election process must be clean, Justice Datta told Mr. Singh: "You must remove concerns inside and outside the court. Do not let anyone worry that their wish will not be fulfilled."
Following the opinion of the Election Commission, the Supreme Court told the petitioners that excessive suspicion is a problem in all matters.
"Nothing can be doubted, you cannot criticize everything. If they (ECI) do something good, you should be grateful. "You don't have to criticize everything," the judge told the plaintiff's lawyer who was counting the votes, adding that the election process in India was "a very challenging task" and that there was no need to "change the system".
VVPAT - Voter Verification Paper – Allows the voter to see that his vote is valid for the candidate he supports. The voucher is created, stored in a closed lid and can be opened when necessary.
VVPAT singles are now verified for 5 randomly selected EVMs in each assembly segment.
The petition calls for verification of all votes as the protest raises questions and concerns over the EVM vote.
