Ahead of the Assembly election, electronic voting machines (EVMs) and VVPAT (voter verifiable paper audit trail) have been sent to different constituencies in the district for training polling personnel and creating awareness among voters.
They are stored at the Agriculture Regulatory Market godown in Ramaiyanpatti here. As the district has received 100 more VVPATs from Thiruvallur, 90 EVMs with VVPATs are to be used for demonstration to voters. Besides, they will also be used during training sessions for polling personnel, which are expected to begin soon.
