Case Study

The world has seen that the vision and work potential of Indians are immense. When the Government of India challenged 130 crores, people, for 21 days lockdown, with few exceptions, the whole population supported the government to stop the spread of coronavirus. The lockdown has now been extended to 39 days and almost all citizens are supporting.

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.
