machines related to the electoral process. Live demo of EVMs/VVPATs was done by

polling cleared their doubts related to voting, especially about VVPAT, which
is a new component introduced and added in the electoral process by the lection
Commission of India. With the help of VVPAT, the voter shall be able to check
and verify the authenticity of the vote poled by him/her to the intended
candidate as the machine will indicate the same and maintain the record for the
reference for the election staff for official use.A Toll-free dedicated
