Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs)

while making polling a lot more expedient. Being fast and absolutely reliable,
the EVM saves considerable time, money and manpower. And, of course, helps maintain
total voting secrecy without the use of ballot papers.
An Electronic Voting Machine consists of
two Units – a Control Unit and a Balloting Unit – joined
by a five-meter cable
The balloting unit enables the voters to cast their votes. Each balloting unit can accommodate 16 candidates. 4 such units can be cascaded and connected to a single control unit.
