Under new rules of the Election Commission, Control Units (CUs) of electronic voting machines (EVMs) will not be repaired, when they develop malfunctioning during counting of votes on May 2.
“If any CU develops technical snag, no effort will be taken to repair it, but such unit will be kept under the custody of Returning Officer and the counting of votes in other CUs will continue without stoppage,” District Election Officer R. Kannan said.
In earlier elections, such malfunctioning units were taken up for repair to enable counting of votes.
