→HOW TO USE E.V.M
An EVM machine demands basic knowledge of identifying the desired political party’s symbol and the local candidate representing it.
Unlike the voting process of yesteryear, an EVM doesn’t require a ballot box, but rather offers an option to simply press a button.
An EVM has two units, a Control Unit and a Balloting Unit.
While the Control Unit remains with the Presiding Officer or a Polling Officer, the Balloting Unit is placed inside the voting compartment.
The Polling Officer in-charge of the Control Unit presses the ‘Ballot’ Button provided on the Control unit for releasing the Ballot for the voter.
It enables the voter to cast his vote by pressing the ‘Candidate’ button (blue button) on the Balloting Unit against the candidate and symbol of his choice.
