The Supreme Court of India Today (Feb 11) ordered that no data should be deleted or reloaded on Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) after elections. This came in response to a petition by the Association for Democratic Reforms (ADR), urging that EVM data must be preserved. A bench led by Chief Justice Sanjiv Khanna has asked the Election Commission to explain the process of erasing EVM memory and microcontrollers. “Please do not erase the data and reload the data. Let someone just examine,” the court told the Election Commission.
