What was the benefits For using EVM Machine
Answers
1. According to an estimate, about 10,000 tons of ballot is saved in a national election in India due to the use of EVM machine. This is around saving of 2 lac trees. So the use of EVMs in the elections is a good job in terms of environment protection.
2. The Cost of M2 EVMs (2006-10) was Rs.8670/EVM (Balloting Unit and Control Unit). The cost of M3 EVMs has been tentatively fixed at about Rs. 17,000/unit. But this cost seems less if we calculate the cost of printing the ballot papers, their storage, transpiration and cost incurred on the manpower used to carry ballot papers.
3. EVM machines can be moved easily from one place to another as compared to the ballot boxes, that is why people living in the hilly and other inaccessible can cast their vote in the elections. So EVMs provided the right to vote to many peoples of the country.
4. It is expected that about 900 million people will vote in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections in India but due to the use of EVM machines, it is expected that the counting of votes will take place on faster mode. So the shorter time of counting will release the election machinery early and the employees will be able to join their parent departments early.
6. As mentioned above just one vote can be casted by one person so the EVM reduces the possibilities of the fake votes.
7. After conducting the election the EVM saves the votes in its memory so it reduces any possibility of the fake vote when voting is finally closed.
EVM's "control unit" the EVM can keep the conducted vote for a period of upto ten years. So the re-counting of votes is possible in case of any disputation.
9. The EVMs are run by the batteries, so these machines can be used in those areas whereas there is no electricity.
10. An Indian EVM can be used for EVMs are very cost effective because a machine works around 15 years. So the total cost of an election get reduces
