The Supreme Court on Monday said it was in favour of increasing random physical verification of Voter Verified Paper Audit Trail (VVPAT) in parliamentary and Assembly polls, even as the idea was met with stiff resistance from the Election Commission of India.
Deputy Election Commissioner Sudeep Jain said the current practice of physically checking the VVPAT paper slips of one randomly selected polling station in an Assembly constituency and each Assembly segment in case of Lok Sabha election was “all that is needed”. There was no need whatsoever to extend the physical count of VVPATs, he said.
