EVMs are robust and tamper-proof, says EC

After Congress party’s national spokesperson Udit Raj raised concerns over the reliability of EVMs (Electronic Voting Machines), the Election Commission (EC) said that the machines are “absolutely robust and tamper-free.”

Even the Supreme Court has upheld the integrity of EVMs more than once, said Deputy Election Commissioner in-charge of EVMs Sudip Jain. Notably, the Election Commission had invited all political parties in 2017 to prove that the voting machines can be tampered with.
