(c) Third Polling Officer
(d) None of these

Answer 1

Second poling officer

Answer 2

Presiding Officer is in-charge of the EVM Control Unit.

Explanation:

Electronic Voting Machine (EVM) is the device used for recording votes electronically instead of via paper. EVM consists of two units, the Control Unit and the Balloting Unit. These two parts are joined by an electronic cable.

When an EVM is used, the voter is not issued a ballot paper. Instead the Polling Officer will press the ballot button on the control unit. This will release a ballot for the voter, who can then cast his vote electronically.

The voter will now cast his vote by pressing the blue button found on the Balloting Unit corresponding to the candidate and symbol he chooses to vote for.
