microcontroller of EVMs: SC allows verification of microcontroller of EVMs by unsuccessful candidates
The Supreme Court directed the sealing and storage of symbol loading units (SLU) along with EVMs for at least 45 days post-election. Candidates who stand second or third can request verification of microcontrollers in EVMs. The court rejected demands to revert to paper ballots, calling suspicions of EVM manipulation unfounded. The verification process will be conducted by engineers from EVM manufacturers, with expenses borne by the requesting candidates and refunded if tampering is found.
