Can you please let me know if somebody from Gov explained that even with EVM each and every single paper ballots will be counted later on?
As far as I know, the paper ballots will be there if some candidate wants challenge the out put from EVM only then the paper ballots are going to be counted afterwards as a result of the aggrieved / losing candidate application.
The papper ballots will only be counted as a backup or dispute solver. They will not be counted alongside, otberwise whats the point, time waster. if anyone has issues they can request count.
paper ballot serves reasons:
- to ensure ur vote went through
- vote went to the party u voted, so u press apple, apple should print out
- its barcode will tell which polling station it belongs to in case they get thrown out or missing etc and found later on...
the only issue i see with it right now is if someone does blunt malice/badmashi and steal or damage the machine, or if the RO is corrupt he may try to misfeed the machine with extra votes issued to same voter... so they need cameras on top of the machine which RO controls, not the one where voter presses button...
this system fool proofs dead people casting votes, rouge votes, bogus votes, and vote wastage from ticking improperly, wrong party, etc...
