They wrote a letter to the polling body, pointing out that the doubts about voting machines used in the elections were ‘yet to be resolved satisfactorily’.

A group of former bureaucrats has written to the Election Commission of India, asking for a social audit of the last General Elections in order to establish its integrity and fairness.

In a letter dated November 19, they cited various media reports to say that unauthorised private engineers had access to electronic voting machines and Voter-Verified Paper Audit Trail, or VVPAT, machines. The VVPAT is a printer attached to voting machines that allows voters to verify that their ballots have been cast as intended.

The former bureaucrats said Bharat Electronics Limited and Electronics Corporation of India, which manufacture the machines, have refused to respond to Right to Information queries about voting machines and VVPATs.

The signatories to the letter pointed out that the doubts about the voting machines were “yet to be resolved satisfactorily”, and urged the Election Commissioners to end the controversy. “Recent reports also seem to suggest that a programme installed in the VVPAT can access VVPAT memories and alter the input to the Control Unit, thereby manipulating the people’s mandate,” they added.
