Voting in India
The Election Commission of India uses EVMs (Electronic Voting Machines) from Lok Sabha elections to assembly elections. However, before and after the elections, the opposition party raises questions about the possibility of EVM hacking. At the same time, the matter of swapping EVMs often comes up. But the question is, how can all the data from EVMs fly away?
How does EVM work?
How does EVM work? Let us tell you that EVMs are used to vote in the country. Those votes are stored in whatever votes the voters cast during voting through EVM. After this, the Election Commission starts counting the votes from the EVM machine on the day of counting. That is, how many people have voted for which party?
The EVM has two units: the control and balloting units. A five-meter cable connects both these units. The control unit is with the presiding officer, the returning officer. The balloting unit is kept in the voting compartment. Voters come to this place to cast their votes. At the polling station, the presiding officer verifies the voter’s identity, after which the voter votes through the EVM.
Can data fly away from EVM?
Now, the question of whether data can be stolen from EVMs during or after elections arises. The answer is that it is difficult. EVMs are designed to store data immediately after voting. There has never been any news of data being stolen from EVMs.
Can EVMs be hacked?
No, the question is whether EVM machines can be hacked. According to experts, this isn’t easy because EVMs cannot be controlled by computers. These stand-alone machines are not connected to the Internet or any other network. Therefore, they are considered completely safe from hacking.
