Voter verification to be used for the first time in Mizoram polls

November 20, 2013 10:19

With voter-verified paper audit trail being used on a large-scale for the first time in the country in the Mizoram assembly polls, the Election Commission is leaving no stone unturned to make it easily accessible to voters.

The VVPAT is a machine attached to EVMS which allows voters to verify that their vote has been cast in the way they wished.

As soon as the voter casts his vote, the VVPAT will show a small slip in a glass covered screen with the symbol and the candidate he has voted for in a form of a small ballot paper, which after 3 to 4 seconds would automatically fall into an attached closed box.
