🏛️ Supreme Court of India 📅 26 Apr 2024 👨‍⚖️ Justice Sanjiv Khanna, Justice Dipankar Datta
Electronic Voting Machines Voter Verifiable Paper Audit Trail Representation of the People Act 1951 Article 324 Free and Fair Elections +5
The petitioners, Association for Democratic Reforms (ADR) and others, filed a writ petition seeking 100% verification of Voter Verifiable Paper Audit Trail (VVPAT) slips against the Electronic Voting Machine (EVM) count, or alternatively, a return to the paper ballot system. The Supreme Court of India rejected these prayers, holding that the existing EVM-VVPAT system is robust, secure, and minimizes human error and manipulation. However, to enhance transparency and voter confidence, the Court introduced new safeguards, including the sealing of Symbol Loading Units and allowing runner-up candidates to seek technical verification of EVM microcontrollers.
