In this video, The Hindu’s Krishnadas Rajagopal, Sreeparna Chakrabarty, and Aroon Deep discuss the Supreme Court’s recent judgement and the technical nuances surrounding the VVPAT system. The Supreme Court, on April 26, upheld the electronic voting machine system of polling and dismissed a plea to revive paper ballots, stating that “blind distrust” of an institution or system fosters unwarranted skepticism and hampers progress. According to the Election Commission, the VVPAT machine offers a paper trail for voters to confirm that their electronic votes have been accurately recorded, addressing concerns regarding the reliability of EVMs. Panel: Krishnadas Rajagopal, Sreeparna Chakrabarty, Aroon Deep Video: Shashi Shekhar Kashyap Production: Shikha Kumari
