EVM-VVPAT case: What are the key takeaways from the Supreme Court’s verdict?

The Hindu  

While refusing a revival of paper ballots, the Supreme Court on April 26 upheld the electronic voting machine polling system and underscored the need to “exercise care and caution” when raising questions about the integrity of the electoral process. In its 2013 ruling in the case of Subramanian Swamy v. Election Commission of India, the Court held that “a paper trail is an indispensable requirement of free and fair elections.” Later, in 2019, while dealing with a plea seeking 50% cross-verification of EVM votes with VVPAT slips in each Assembly constituency, the Court favoured an increase in the number of polling stations in which VVPAT verification would be done from one per Assembly constituency or segment to five. ‘Unfounded’ claims of EVM tampering Justice Khanna noted that the microcontrollers separately programmed by manufacturers in EVMs are “agnostic,” for they do not recognise political parties or candidates but only the buttons pressed by voters. Addressing this contention, Justice Khanna noted that “except in one case” no other discrepancies were noticed while physically counting 20,687 VVPAT slips. “I have no hesitation to accept the submission of senior counsel for the ECI that reverting to the ‘paper ballot system’ of the bygone era, as suggested, reveals the real intention of the petitioning association to discredit the system of voting through the EVMs and thereby derail the electoral process that is underway, by creating unnecessary doubts in the minds of the electorate,” he wrote.
