Delhi High Court to hear Swamy’s plea on EVMs before Assembly Elections
Delhi High Court has set January 10th as the date to decide on
the issue of EVM’s use in comping Assembly elections. Dr.
Subramanian Swamy had filed this plea citing the lack of
transparency in EVMs. Dr. Swamy has insisted that either paper
printouts should be incorporated in the EVMs or the Election
Commission should return to the ballot paper system to avoid
tampering at the time of polls.
This holds vital importance after the expose of EVMs being tempered
to benefit Congress [link to Congress’ EVM temper article]. Prior
to this, several Opposition parties including the BJP have also
demanded that polls be conducted through ballot papers alleging
mass tempering of EVMs in 2009.

Dr. Swamy argued before a division bench of acting Chief Justice
AK Sikri and Justice Rajiv Sahai Endlaw, that ‘transparency’ had to
be given priority over ‘efficiency’ in the poll process. He
explained that EVMs’ electronic database in chip controlled and
that’s not temper proof. He also cited examples of technologically
advanced European nations which don’t use EVMs for the same
reason.
However, the Election Commission has said in court that the use of
ballot papers was not feasible as not only it would require immense
expenditure but also result in cutting down forests as there are 73
crore voters in India. EC counsel said, “ We are still exploring
the possible modifications in the EVMs. The EVMs have a benefit
that electronic database in them can be reconstructed anytime”.
EC had referred the issue to a 3 member expert committee headed by
Prof PV Indiresan, former Director of IIT Madras after a demand
raised in an all-party meeting. The committee is considering
introduction of “paper trail” so that voters can get a printout
that will show symbol on which the vote was cast. It also held
discussion with officials of the Bharat Electronic Limited and
Electronic Corporation on the issue but is is yet to take a final
call on the matter.
