electronic voting machine

Delhi High Court bench dismissed the petition filed by an Ex-Contestant of the last municipal election held in 2017 seeking direction from the State Election Commission to remove the election symbol from the ballot paper in the municipal elections in Delhi.

The matter of plea seeking directions to the Election Commission of India to stop the use of Electronic Voting Machines was listed before Delhi High Court which deferred the hearing to August 3, as there was some connectivity issue and the petitioner couldn’t join the proceedings.

The Supreme Court on Wednesday refused to hear a petition filed by C.R. Jaya Sukin seeking a direction to the Election Commission to stop using electronic voting machines (EVM) and instead use ballot paper in future elections.
