EVM hacking challenge to be held June 3: CEC
The Election Commission has thrown down the gauntlet at political parties, asking them to crack its Electronic Voting Machines (EVM). The poll panel has set June 3 as the date for the hackathon to let opposition political parties prove their contention that the EVMs used in the February-March assembly elections were, or could be, tampered with.
"EVMs are not hackable as these are stand alone machines and not connected to internet and/or any other network," CEC Nasim Zaidi said at a conference explaining why it was tamper-proof. But cracking the EVMs comes with riders and EC has ensured parties won't have it that easy. Here are EC's terms and conditions:
1) Only those parties, national and regional, that took part in the recently concluded assembly elections can hack the EVMs
2) Each party can appoint 3 people each to crack the EVMs.
3) The EVMs need to be picked from EC's warehouses in Delhi at parties' own cost.
4) If a party fails to report at the alloted time without prior intimation or approval, their challenge shall be cancelled.
