The Supreme Court on Monday issued notice to the Election Commission on a plea seeking a thorough count of Voter-Verifiable Paper Audit Trail (VVPAT) slips in elections. As per the current practice, VVPAT verification is done only with respect to votes recorded in 5 randomly selected Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) in each assembly segment, reports Bar and Bench.
The petitioner has prayed that each and every EVM vote should be tallied against VVPAT slips.
The petitioner has also sought a direction that voters should be allowed to physically drop the slips generated by the VVPAT in a ballot box to ensure that the voter’s ballot has been ‘counted as recorded’. A bench of Justice BR Gavai and Justice Sandeep Mehta issued notice to ECI and tagged the plea along with other pending matters concerning EVM and VVPAT.
