New Delhi: Rajya Sabha MP Kapil Sibal released a detailed chart designed to safeguard the integrity of Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) during the counting process. Highlighting the need for meticulous scrutiny, Sibal outlined a comprehensive chart to be utilized by political parties’ counting agents.
He said he wants to make the public and the political parties aware of what they should do when the machines (EVMs) open.Â
“I have made a chart for all the parties and all the counting agents. In this chart, the CU (control unit) number, BU (ballot unit) number and VVPAT ID will be present…The third column is very important. 4th June 2024 is written in the third column and the time when the machine will be opened is written below. If there is any difference in this time then you will know that the machine has already been opened somewhere…Then, the serial number of control unit will also come here in written format, you have to match that too…When the total poll vote comes, then look at it carefully so that when there are more votes in the counting, the problem may come again…Keep in mind 2 things, do not press the result button until the verification is done in the above column and if there is a difference between that timing and the timing of the result then there is something wrong. I would like that all political parties and all the candidates who are sitting there should carefully check the first column and get it opened only then…” said Sibal, as per ANI tweet.
