Hello,

EVM or Electronic Voting Machine are the electronic devices used during elections.
These machines have the name of the candidates along with the party symbol.
The voters can simply press the button of the party and can give their vote.

The evms have a greater advantage over the ballot boxes.
The advantages of evm over ballot boxes are:-

1)the evms are safer than the ballot boxes as they cannot be easily opened.

2)the evms store and send the entire voting data to the EC counting office.
So, there is no chance of data leak.

3)The evms can be reused and hence they save a lot of government money.

4)the evms are electronic devices. So they don't use paper.
Hence, they save a lot of paper during elections.

5)even if the evms are hampered, the data inside them are never hampered as the data is directly sent to the EC server.

The entire system is very very secure and is monitored throughout the elections.

This, the evms are very helpful and advantageous over the ballot boxes.

Hope this will be helping you ✌️

Ballot Papers
First of all our country is huge. There are more than 80 crore registered voters in the country according to EC in 2014 which will certainly rise. So counting of such a huge population's mandate is very difficult and there is always risk of counting errors.

EVM
In our world every computer, smartphone, smart TV and literally everything can be hacked. But does that mean we are always hacked. So do we give up our smartphones and computers and revert back to the old system of paper and writing!!!
EVMs are independent machines which can be let's say for instance can be hacked. But they are not connected to any other device, internet. So how can so many EVMs be tampered with. For that to happen, the entire team of EC has to help.
