Election commission revises protocol for symbol loading unit of EVM, VVPAT
Wednesday, 1 May 2024 () The Election Commission of India has issued revised protocols for handling and storing symbol loading units (SLUs) of EVMs and VVPATs, following a Supreme Court order. SLUs must now be sealed in containers after symbol loading and stored for 45 days. Access to SLU storage areas requires invitation to candidates or their representatives.
The second phase of voting across 88 seats in India is underway amid heightened anticipation, while the Supreme Court has decisively settled the debate on reverting to paper ballot elections. Dismissing petitions for complete cross-verification of votes using EVMs and VVPATs, the court emphasized maintaining trust in the electoral process.
