Maharashtra EVMs Confirmed Tamper-Proof by ECI Verification
Imagine the government uses special voting machines.
After an election, they checked these machines to make sure they worked correctly.
People who didn't win asked for the check, and the government agreed.
The tests proved the machines are safe and cannot be tricked.
Every vote recorded by the machine matched the number of paper slips printed.
This was done to make sure everything was fair.
EVMs used in the 2024 Maharashtra Legislative Assembly elections have been verified.
The Election Commission of India (ECI) conducted the checking and verification (C&V) exercise.
The verification was based on applications from 10 candidates across 10 constituencies.
Tests confirmed EVMs are tamper-proof, passing all diagnostic tests.
Results from Control Units matched the VVPAT slip counts.
