Congress' Jairam Ramesh's letter to poll panel on voting machines-related concerns

India Today  

Congress leader Jairam Ramesh on Tuesday requested a meeting with Chief Election Commissioner Raji Kumar so Opposition bloc INDIA leaders could discuss their concerns regarding Electronic Voting Machines. In a letter to the Chief Election Commissioner, Ramesh wrote, "I once again make a request for an opportunity for a 3-4 member team of INDIA party leaders to meet with you and your colleagues and take a few minutes to put forward our point of view on VVPATs." Ramesh's letter comes after the opposition INDIA bloc raised concerns about the integrity of electronic voting machines. The Election Commission currently mandates verifying VVPAT slips from five randomly selected polling stations per assembly constituency or segment before declaring results.
