Today Supreme Court ordered to count 5 VVPATS for each MLA Constituency & 35 VVPATS for each MP Constituency on Random Sample Basis.

Supreme Court Quashed EC petition which says no need to count more VVPATS than existing count of VVPATS.

As of now, only VVPAT is being counted in each MLA Constituency.

these 5 VVPAT slips count will be compared with EVM count?

In case mismatch any clarity if total VVPATs needs to be counted? Clarity missing from SC.

Bhayya......EVMs count will be cross checked & verified with VVPATS that too on random EVMs basis.

Now, probability of catching fraudulent activity, if any, will be enhanced.

Supreme Court orders EC to increase VVPAT verification from one EVM to five

The Supreme Court on Monday increased voter-verified paper audit trail (VVPAT) from one EVM per Assembly segment to five. The court observed that an increase in VVPAT verification "would be of greater satisfaction not only of political parties but also for the entire electorate".

HIGHLIGHTS

  • SC said the issue was of satisfaction of the electorate
  • The court's direction came on a plea by leaders of 21 opposition parties
  • Increase in the VVPAT would not require additional manpower, SC said
The Supreme Court on Monday ordered the Election Commission to increase the Voter-Verified Paper Audit Trail (VVPAT) slips from one Electronic Voting Machine (EVM) per Assembly constituency to five.

The Supreme Court observed that increase in VVPAT verification "would be of greater satisfaction not only of political parties but also for the entire electorate". "This court would like to observe that neither the satisfaction of the Election Commission, which is a constitutional body, nor the system of EVMs, is being doubted," the bench said.

 

The bench also said that it was not questioning the accuracy of election results, but the issue was of satisfaction of the electorate.

The court's direction came on a plea by leaders of 21 opposition parties who wanted it to be hiked to 50 per cent of EVMs per Assembly constituency. The opposition parties had argued that the Election Commission was conducting VVPAT matching for less than 0.44 per cent of EVMs in the country.

During arguments before the Supreme Court on Monday, senior advocate and Congress leader Abhishek Manu Singhvi told the court that it was "ornamental and illusory" to count less than one per cent of votes as a sample survey since it was a very small number.

Abhishek Manu Singhvi also argued that given the size of the Indian electorate, there could be allegations of tampering in some areas.

The bench led by CJI Ranjan Gogoi, however, did not accept the opposition parties' arguments to have 33 per cent to 50 per cent votes verified.

The Election Commission had raised objection over the increase in the number of verifications, saying that it would require extensive training of a large number senior civil servants and an increase in their number for the deployment which, the EC said, would divert them from other work.

The Election Commission had also said that increase in verification would delay the election results.

The increase in the VVPAT would neither require additional manpower nor delay the results of the Lok Sabha elections, the court noted.

The bench observed that its "endeavour is to find a viable number of machines keeping in mind the infrastructure and manpower difficulties pointed out by the Election Commission".

The court also noted that the issue before it was "to maintain the purity of the electoral process and ensure the foolproof result of the mandate expressed by the people in the upcoming general elections."

The Commission follows a system of counting of VVPAT slips in one polling booth per assembly constituency in Vidhan Sabha elections and in one polling booth in each assembly segment for Lok Sabha polls.

Till now, the Election Commission was conducting matching of VVPAT slips for about 479 voting booths in the country. The ECI rules recommend that VVPAT verification for one booth in every assembly constituency, which is about 4,125 EVMs.

Following the SC order, votes cast in about 20,625 EVMs across the country will be verified through the paper trail.

The ECI has also issued a press statement after the SC verdict that it will "make all-out efforts to operationalise and implement the directions of Hon'ble SC with immediate effect".

Actually good move. They select 5 booths/EVMs on random basis for each Assembly constituency and 30 or 35 (Based on assemblies in each parliament - if 6 segments then 30 EVMs, if 7 segments 35 EVMs) for each parliament.

I think it will give an indication if baffas are playing around with EVMs. But what cannot be prevented is, like what happened in TG. Just like rigging. Agents pressing same party symbol by colluding with other agents.

after verification, what if they get different numbers from 2 machines out of 5 machines? will they do recounting ?? or re polling?

Then EC is liable and EC has to take proper action in the form of Re-Polling or else Court will not leave EC.
