The Supreme Court this week issued notice to the Election Commission on a petition seeking a direction to mandatorily cross-verify the count in Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) with votes verifiably recorded as cast by counting all Voter Verifiable Paper Audit Trail (VVPAT) slips. This comes days ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. However, this isn’t the first time the authenticity of India’s voting process has come under the scanner. Several activists have raised questions on how reliable EVMs are and whether they can be tampered or not.
