Heya...

Here is your answer..

• India is the largest Participatory Democracy of the world, with about 850 million
registered voters. The Constitutional mandate of superintendence, direction and control
of Elections to the Parliament and the State Legislative Assemblies has been conferred
on the Election Commission of India.
• The Election Commission of India is an independent Constitutional entity, which
has successfully conducted regular elections to the Parliament and various State
Legislative Assemblies for the past 66 years in a free, fair, participative, informed and
credible manner. The Commission is widely acknowledged as a ‘’Global Gold Standard’’
in Election Management across the World, setting ever-higher standards of efficient
and professional conduct of Elections.
• The Commission has been at the forefront of embracing, adopting and implementing
the latest technological advancements in improving and fine-tuning the election
processes and systems. The Commission has taken the pioneering initiative of
introducing Electronic Voting Machine (EVM) for recording, storing and counting of
votes across the length and breadth of the Country in a transparent, credible and
secure manner, backed by appropriate legal support. The use of EVM demonstrates
the Commission’s unflinching resolve to continually improve, upgrade and strengthen
the Electoral Process in the country.
• The Commission has successfully used EVMs in conducting 107 General Elections
to the State Legislative Assemblies and 3 Lok Sabha Elections over the last 23 years.
The List of States, along with the years in which 100% EVMs were used in the
Assembly Elections is placed at ANNEXURE - 1.
• 55.41 crore (554 million) voters exercised their franchise in 2014 Lok Sabha elections
using EVMs.
• Since the very inception of the EVMs in 1982, as a positive electoral reform on the
electoral scene in India, blames and aspersions have been cast on the EVMs from
various quarters including political. Recently, after the announcement of the results
of the five State Assembly Elections in March 2017, again certain allegations have
been leveled against the EVMs. A group of thirteen political parties met the Commission
on 10 April 2017 and expressed certain reservations about the use of EVMs.

It may help you... ☺☺
