New Delhi: Amidst questions being raised on the functioning of Electronic Voting Machines, an NGO has approached the Supreme Court seeking it to direct the Election Commission to replace it with a tamper proof system.
The PIL, filed by Jana Chaitanya Vedika, contended that there was an urgent need to replace EVMs as there was possibility of it being tampered and manipulated.
"Several experts and election watch groups have found that EVM could be manipulated. They have analysed the electronics results in several constituencies which indicate that there is something drastically wrong with the EVMs," the petition filed by V V Rao, Vice President of the NGO said.
"The existing EVMs are vulnerable and should not be used for any elections till the time the machines are made tamper proof," the petition said.
