Electronic Voting machines or EVM are machines meant for the conduct of Poll and are a better alternative to balloting by paper. The EVMs are eco-friendly/user-friendly/ tamper-proof and reliable equipment for the conduct of the free and fair poll. EVM consist of two units i.e Ballot Unit and Control Unit. The Control Unit having computer chip to store data of vote polled is with the Presiding Officer or a Polling Officer and the Ballot Unit is placed inside the voting compartment. Instead of issuing a Ballot Paper, the Presiding Officer-in-charge of the Control Unit will press the Ballot Button. This will enable the voter to cast his vote by pressing the blue button on the Balloting Unit against the candidate and symbol of his choice.
