Imphal: In view of the forthcoming 12th General Elections to Manipur Legislative Assembly next year, an awareness programme on familiarization of Electronic Voting Machine (EVM) and Voter Verifiable Paper Audit Trail (VVPAT) was held on Monday for the state media persons working both in print and electronic media, at the Office of the Chief Electoral Officer, Manipur.
Joint Chief Electoral Officer (II), Manipur, Md S Daulat Khan said that the programme is mainly carried out for increasing digital outreach and innovative physical outreach for awareness, familiarity and ease of use of EVM and VVPAT.
With the EVM, instead of issuing a ballot paper, the polling officer will press the ballot button which enables the voter to cast their vote. A list of candidates’ names, photos and symbols will be available on the machine with a blue button next to it.
