Can't change EVM symbol loading unit for mock vote: Supreme Court

The Supreme Court has enhanced EVM integrity checks by ruling that the symbol loading unit must remain unchanged during candidate-requested mock polls. This order came with the acceptance of the Election Commission's amended technical SOP, which includes self-diagnosis and mutual authentication. Engineers will also certify the software and memory of EVMs to ensure they haven't been tampered with.
