Nudge to IIT professors to speak up on EVMs Former CEC critical of experts committee that is supposed to give advise on technical aspects of the voting machines and the VVPAT devices
Former chief election commissioner S.Y. Quraishi on Monday questioned the silence of the Election Commission’s technical experts committee on the complaints and suspicions aired repeatedly about electronic voting machines’ vulnerability to tampering.
Speaking at Sabrang news portal’s webinar on “the EVM conundrum”, Quraishi tried to uphold the poll panel’s guarantee that the voting machines cannot be tampered with.
However, he was critical of the experts committee that is supposed to advise the commission on technical aspects of the voting machines and the voter-verified paper audit trail (VVPAT) devices.
