Electronic Voting Machine
A decade ago, the ballot paper method used for voting in the elections in India was replaced by electronic voting machines. The voters until a decade ago used paper sheet with a list of candidates and their election symbols to exercise their democratic right to elect their leader. The voter used a rubber stamp to mark his or her single choice on the ballot paper that would be folded in a specified manner and inserted in the ballot box. Multiple stamps or a stamp at the wrong place meant an invalid vote. The manual counting of votes by numerous staff would take days. The EVMs have changed all that.
