"The EC is amply satisfied about the non-tamperability and the foolproof working of the EVMs. The Commission's confidence in the efficacy of the EVMs has been fortified by the judgments of various courts and the views of technical experts," the Commission said in its press note reacting to reports about the technological vulnerability of EVMs.
The Commission would, however, consider all the points raised and apprehensions expressed recently by various political leaders and individuals regarding EVMs and take all necessary measures to clear doubts about use of EVMs in elections.
The EC's clarification came in the wake of BJP leader L K Advani demanding reintroduction of ballot papers in elections, beginning with the Maharashtra Assembly polls and three other states, observing that there was every possibility of malfunctioning of EVMs.
Noting that the Commission came across reports regarding technological vulnerability of the EVMs for possible manipulation, the EC referred to the Karnataka High Court hailing the EVMs as "a national pride".
Referring to former Delhi Chief Secretary Omesh Sehgal’s claim that "rigging of EVMs was very much possible", the Commission said said that Sehgal had handed over a letter when he met Chief Election Commissioner Navin Chawla on June 30.
However, no demonstration on the tamperability of the EVM has been given by Sehgal to the Commission or to its officials, nor has the Commission ordered any enquiry, as reported in a section of the Press, the EC clarified.
"The Commission receives complaints, petitions and letters from various quarters on electoral issues including the matters related to EVM. All these complaints are looked into for taking necessary action, if any is required," it said.
Observing that an analogy was drawn to electronic voting systems adopted in various foreign countries and their experience with electronic voting, the EC said the Commission has in the past, provided opportunities to the complainants to prove their points on the alleged vulnerability of EVM. So far, no one has been able to demonstrate to the Commission that EVM can be manipulated.

CIA helped to modify the EVM machine embedded software and the chip is being made in Japan. In TN the exit polls showed the sweeping of seats by Jayalalitha. But the DMK with the manipulation of voting machines,were able to get many seats. The whole thing was planned in the congress war room with the help of CIA. When Pakis can print our currency notes with the same serial number of notes being printed in Indian security press and distribute the same even before Indian government distributes its own currency in India, it is a simple matter to plant people at ECIL to help modify the embedded software with the help of the CIA. No political party has the clout to check this type of fraud by congress. EVMs can be easily tweaked Times of India 5 Jul 2009, bit.ly/13A8JU
Sonia had planted the emergency tainted Chawla as CEC to help her manipulate the EVMs. Another EC Qureshi is more loyal to the King than the King himself and he proved it in many ways to Sonia. So the process of randamisation of EVMs for distributing to various polling booths will not stop this EVM scam. Another thing that is done is the alphabetical arrangement of the buttons based on the local language and this information is readily available with the CEC. In Tamil Nadu, where the EVM were stored had some myserious power cut. The exit polls of CNN IBN predicted the sweep for Jayalalitha’s AIADMK. Yet the next day CNN IBN changed that prediction under some myserious advise. Many EVMs showed that what ever candidate’s button is pressed, the votes were going only to the congress party. The icing in the cake was the visit of US embassy personnel to L.K. Advani and Chiranjeevi, to show that they were thinking that NDA and Prajarajyam will sweep the polls
What the Indian public was not aware is the fact that the EVM machines were manipulated by the congress. The whole thing was planned in the congress war room with the help of CIA. One should understand that during the 2004 election, CIA had planted operatives in Delhi in a villa that actively helped the Congress party. This time the CIA help had gone much deeper. To understand the modus operandi, one should know how EVMs are functioning. All EVMs have an embedded software and ECIL, which developed the first Indian TV etc. developed this software. The detailed programming is known only to ECIL engineers and not revealed to outsiders. When Pakis can print our currency notes with the same serial number of notes being printed in Indian security press and distribute the same even before Indian government distributes its own currency in India, it is a simple matter to plant people at ECIL to help modify the embedded software with the help of the CIA.
I appreciate the concern which is been rose. The things need to be sorted out because it’s not about the individual but it can be with everyone.trial attorneys
Then the stooge of Congress, Mr Chawla has to explain why Chidamdaram was delcared defeated earlier and later declared elected. The same is the case of Maneka Gandhi and many others. In most of the states, the story is the same and most of the cases, it is congress who was the beneficiary of such a incident. Is it merely a coincidence or part of bigger plot. When we have corrupt people like Chawla you cannot have anything but corrupted system.
In 2004, the Supreme Court’s First Bench, comprising Chief Justice V. N. Khare and Justices Babu and Kapadia, directed the Election Commission to consider the technical flaws in EVMs put forward by Satinath Choudhary, a U.S.-based software engineer, in a PIL. But the EC has failed to consider his representation. What Advani is saying makes sense- its too serious a thing to allow a system which is not fool proof.
Some CongI agents have infiltrated into the secret software of the machine and manipulated the results. T. Nadu, Andhra, Kerala, Delhi, UP, Gujrat and Maha. Please diclare the election null and void
Advani opposes any act of UPA government whether it is valid or not. BJP will come out with Bharat rathyatra, a waste of time and money. BJP will also start boycotting the parliament proceedings anytime. These are all NEGATIVE attitude and approaches. Advani cannot prove that EVM had tempered with. There is no point in this allegation.
This could be Modern Day Booth capturing practised by the Congies!!!
i think instead of making silly comments and making a joker out of self, we must geniuenly look into the matter and rectify it. this is democratically tackling the issue in a democracy.few un answered questions are 1. why this doubt has risen, 2. why few countries refused EVMs. 3 how it can be tampered and it should demonstrated. 4.think of all possible happennings like a psychopath with high IQ. 5. and for GOD's sake stop blamming the BJP, sanghi , etc for everything even if it is genuine.BJP and sangh cant be responsible for your common cold and all the diarrheas you get.
There is substance in allegation as no where in any law or any act take it election commission act or other acts it is written that electronic voting machine be used..ballot is considered as the basic essence of voting right..even one the most developed country America has ballot box...these machines were introduced as an experiment and just after that became a trend..so i think ballot paper should be reintroduced..Udit ChandraAdvocate
I don't think the EVMs can be misused in favor or against any candidate.The suspicion as raised by BJP are not sustainable.Election,whether with the help of EVMs or ballot boxes is always fair till the polling team and the agents of different political parties at the polling center are working honestly.I have worked in many elections as a presiding officer and in other capacities but never found that there could be any manipulations.Whosoever loses always suspects that some foul play has been adopted.I believe,in the elections any manipulation is possible only at the polling center and that is possible only if the whole polling team,the agents and the public present there fully agree to make some foul play,which is quite impossible.No one can doubt the identity and the integrity of the persons working in the polling team.Yes in rare case the EVM may not work and if it happens it is changed there only.Also micro observers,observers and other officers visit the polling centers.
The contention is correct. Any computerised standalone system can be infiltrated. Instead the suggestion of online voting on the lines of ATM cards are more appropriate
It is very curious to see how Indians have stoped so low like Brahm Upddhya. BJP's allegation has to be scientifically verified. Indians(Hindus/Muslims/Christains all) are known all over the world for their dishonesty. EC is no exception. So better to go for ballot paper, we are not in a hurry to know the result. Election of Chidmambaram is already under cloud who was trailing till the last point but emerged victorious all of a sudden. Let us go back to fool proof system. There is no "stone age" here. Developing countries have already rejected EVM.
If given a chance Advaniji and his brilliant team will even suggest all to go back to the Stone Age!Why not suggest something that's would help us all out in future Election? A better technology, a better system? But No! We just should go back to the stone age... I mean Ballot boxes!! ha!BTW, I was thinking of Voting machine similar to the ATMs. Give AMT card like Voter IDs. Voters should be able to vote for his state/region/city from any part of India! Now thats the future, Advani.....ji.
I think there is substance in the allegation. Earlier, Mr. Oomesh Sehgal had submitted a Note on the tampering of EVMs and that many advanced Countries in the West have rejected the EVMs.While following the counting operation in recently held elections in Orissa, there was News report stating that some EVMs had registered more Votes than the 'total Number' as per the Voters List. There was also a News report stating that 3 BJP Candidates for three Constituencies of Bhubaneswar City, had registered almost same number of Votes ( 12000 plus) in their respective Constituencies and were defeated by huge margins. It cannot be a mere coincidence!Perhaps there is enough ground for taking the matter to the Court of Law.
Can the EC prove that the EVM had not tampered with or were not malfunctioned.?
You (BJP) guys have already stooped so low, because your sanghi aim is to rule this country like the mullahs are ruling Iran.Your only contribution to this country was the murder of the Mahatma. Your gift to our nation was Nathu Godse and yet you call yourselves Hindus, go and drown yourselves in chullu bhar paani.No Hindu from any decent family behave like osama-bin-laden, but every sanghi behaves and act like him.You have not only stooped to cheap levels, but you also stole the national wealth disguised as nationalists.Shame on you chaddi jokers.
