four difference s between EVM and VVPAT
Answers
Answer:
EVM is a voting machine, used in general and state elections, that allows everyone to cast their votes without revealing their identity.
Following innumerable complaints of booth capturing, the EC had switched from the obsolete ballot system to electronic voting machines.
The first use of EVM was during the 1982 Kerala Assembly elections, before which only ballot papers were used for voting
Difference:
VVPAT machine is not a separate voting system, as often misunderstood. It is only an extended feature of EVM.
VVPAT is attached to the EVM. Once a voter presses a button on the EVM, VVPAT prints the details on a paper slip. The slip contains the name of the candidate and his party, through which a citizen can verify his/her vote.VVPATs and EVMs were used together for the first time during the Maharashtra Assembly elections in October 2014. As an experiment, their application was limited to only 13 constituencies.
The decision to operate VVPAT with EVM was pushed by a directive of the Supreme Court in 2013 when the court had asked the EC to introduce paper trails during 2014 Lok Sabha elections.
