EC urged not to use EVMs for GHMC polls

HYDERABAD: Reiterating that EVMs (electronic voting machines) can be tampered, the Jana Chaitanya Vedika and TDP on Thursday urged the Election
Commission not to use these machines in the GHMC elections unless all doubts are cleared.
The organisation wanted the EC to develop a verification tool, which can check the programme authenticity inside the chip.
While the TDP delegation led by N Janardhan Reddy called on the state election commissioner and submitted a letter written by party president N Chandrababu Naidu urging him to re-introduce ballot papers in the GHMC polls, JCV president V Lakshman Reddy at a media conference said that the people who come to vote should know to whom their vote had been cast.
He said that EC should either follow the procedure of issuing a printout of the vote cast or should go with the ballot papers. NetIndia, organisation associated with the JCV, prepared model EVMs based on the proforma of the EVMs of EC and demonstrated as to how the machine can be tampered.
Hari K Prasad, MD of NetIndia, said the biggest flaw in the EVMs used by the EC is that if the machine cables of two EVMs (assembly and Parliament) are swapped the result will be different. He said the chip used by the EC is made by government companies, which "can be managed.'' "If the EC can give us information about the chip programming then they can analyse and show how the EVMs can be tampered."
Prasad said the machines can be manipulated even at the time of activation. Giving an example, he said a programme can be set like ten per cent more votes for the candidate for whom first 20 votes were cast and the candidate can send those first 20 people to the booth and make them stand in queue ahead of others.
The TDP demanded that usage of the EVMs be temporarily suspended till all the doubts about their genuineness are cleared.
