Chief Election Commissioner Rajiv Kumar said that questions were raised on us that how does the voting figure increase after 5 pm? How do crores of votes increase? It has to be kept in mind that the sector magistrate collects the voting data between 9:30 am, 11:30 am, 1:30 pm, 3:30 pm and 5:30 pm.
Form 17-C is given at the time of voting. When the officer collects all the machines by 7:30 pm, then the final figure of his polling station is known, whereas we are asked to give the figure at 6 o'clock only. People forget that in the big countries of the world, counting of votes is going on for a month.
He said that new batteries are put in EVMs before the elections. It is sealed on the same day. On the day of voting, the seal is broken in front of the polling agent. Mock polls are conducted.
Polling agents keep a record of who came and who went. They are given the number of votes cast in which election. The entire process is repeated on the day of counting. Matching is done with Form 17C. After that, matching is also done with any five VVPATs. Questions have been raised on our process many times.
Election Commissioner Rajiv Kumar said that Indian voters are very aware. Stories are still going on about the voter lists. There are about 70 seats. In which political parties and candidates are with us, whatever claims and objections come. They are shared with all the political parties. Name cannot be removed without Form 7.
EVM foolproof device for counting votes: Election Commission
Rajiv Kumar, Election Commissioner said that there is no any evidence captured for unreliability in EVMs. There is no question of virus or bug coming in EVMs. There is no question of illegal votes in EVMs. No rigging is possible.
The High Court and the Supreme Court are constantly saying this in different decisions, what else can be said? EVM is a foolproof device for counting votes. The allegations of tampering are baseless. We are speaking now because we do not speak at the time of elections.
The Election Commission had released the final voter list for the Delhi Assembly elections last Monday. In this election, around two lakh voters are between 18 and 19 years of age.
They will use their right to vote for the first time in the assembly elections. There are a total of 1 crore 55,24,858 voters in this list. 85,49,645 male voters in this, while there are 71,73,952 female voters and 1,261 third gender voters.
The Election Commission announced that names are added and removed as part of the procedures for the election process and the voter list. For this, there is Form 6 and Form 7. Information about adding and deleting names is given to political parties from time to time.
According to the information received from the Election Commission, in Delhi, from 29 October to 28 November, 1,35,089 voters applied under Form-6 and 83,825 under Form-8 for adding names in the voter list, changing the address, removing the name from the list and objections and suggestions.
The officials at the Election Commission addressed all the applications by December 24. In this way, till the final voter list was released, 3,08,942 new names were added to the voter list. 1,41,613 names were removed. A 1,67,329 total new voters were added during this period.
The Election Commission found that in a month from 16 December, 5.10 lakh new people applied to get their names added. This happened for the first time. This happened even though more than three lakh voters had been added to the new list within the stipulated time because this was happening within 20 days, when the time for objections and scrutiny had already passed.
This was a matter of immediate scrutiny. All Electoral Registration Officers - EROs were directed to investigate. Every application was scrutinized. The concerned officers have been asked to do 100% verification.
