Today(on 18th April), The Supreme Court of India has reserved judgment on petitions seeking cross-verification between EVM and VVPAT votes. The decision, presided over by a bench led by Justices Sanjiv Khanna and Dipankar Datta, addresses concerns about the reliability of the VVPAT system as an additional layer of verification in electronic voting processes.
On Tuesday (2nd April): The DMK filed writ petitions with the Madras High Court concerning EVM issues before the Lok Sabha elections, alleging that the presence of a printer between the Balloting Unit and Control Unit compromises data integrity. The party expressed concerns about the Election Commission of India’s oversight and transparency in decision-making. Additionally, a petition challenges the ECI’s guideline on VVPAT verification.
