Election Commission calls all party meeting to discuss Remote Voting Machine

Election Commission has called an all party meeting in New Delhi today to discuss Remote Voting Machine. It has called presidents, chairpersons and general secretaries of all national parties for the meeting to discuss and demonstrate the Remote Voting Machine. The Technical Expert Committee members will also be present in the meeting.

The poll body has proposed the introduction of ‘remote voting’ for domestic migrants, using a multi-constituency electronic voting machine that will retain all security features of the EVMs currently in use. This modified form of EVM can handle up to 72 multiple constituencies from a single remote polling booth.
