EC defends EVMs as US intel chief flags 'vulnerabilities'
Hindustan Times Navi Mumbai
|April 12, 2025
The Election Commission of India said on Friday that the Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) used in India are "simple, correct and accurate calculators", responding to concerns raised by US Director of Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard over the "vulnerability" of electronic voting systems (EVS) in the United States to "hacking".
NEW DELHI:
During a Cabinet meeting convened by US President Donald Trump on April 10, Gabbard said that the Intelligence department has "evidence" that EVS are susceptible to the exploitation to manipulate the results of votes cast and advocated for paper ballot-based elections. To be sure, she was commenting about the machines used in the US and not specifically referring to the EVMs used in India.
