Stop crying foul after you ran away from the EVM challenge - this is what the Election Commission tersely told political parties which have questioned the reliability of the voting machines. Thus no political party was able to demonstrate how EVMs could be tampered with," said the affidavit filed by Malay Mallik, Secretary at the Election Commission. The commission said it will hold all future elections mandatorily with Electronic Voting Machines attached to Voter-Verified Paper Audit Trail machines (EVMs with VVPAT). The election commission expects to receive the delivery of 48,000 VVPATs units from BEL and ECIL by August 31, 2017 and another 25,000 in September.
