The New Indian Express Thrissur
|June 24, 2025
In addition to the mock polls conducted before the start of voting, the Election Commission of India has implemented a new policy as part of its Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) to allow the same to check the integrity of EVMs within 45 days after the results are announced, sources said on Monday.
The verification would be limited to 20 ballot units, 10 control units, and 10 VVPATs per request, and regular diagnostic checks will cost ₹23,600 per Electronic Voting Machine (EVM) set, which would go up to ₹47,200 if a mock poll is included, they said, adding that the amount is reduced from ₹40,000 during the 2024 Lok Sabha polls for normal diagnostic checks.
