The Supreme Court on Monday ordered the Election Commission to increase the Voter-Verified Paper Audit Trail (VVPAT) slips from one Electronic Voting Machine (EVM) per Assembly constituency to five.
The Supreme Court observed that increase in VVPAT verification "would be of greater satisfaction not only of political parties but also for the entire electorate". "This court would like to observe that neither the satisfaction of the Election Commission, which is a constitutional body, nor the system of EVMs, is being doubted," the bench said.
The bench also said that it was not questioning the accuracy of election results, but the issue was of satisfaction of the electorate.
