&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;The Commission said it had engaged the Indian Statistical Institute to submit a report in view of demands from political parties to increase the sample size for VVPAT slip verification from 10% to 100%. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Maintaining it was in favour of continuing the existing system of random checking of VVPAT slips from one EVM per assembly segment for the Lok Sabha and assembly polls, the Election Commission has told the Supreme Court that increasing it to 50 per cent &amp;ldquo;shall enlarge the time required for counting to about six days&amp;rdquo;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The EC&amp;rsquo;s affidavit in court came in response to a petition by 21 political parties, which had sought directions to the poll body to randomly verify at least 50 per cent of electronic voting machines (EVMs) using voter verifiable paper audit trail (VVPAT) slips in the assembly and general elections starting next month.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hearing the plea on March 25, a bench headed by Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi told the EC that it &amp;ldquo;would like&amp;rdquo; the poll panel &amp;ldquo;to increase&amp;rdquo; the number of random VVPAT checks, and asked it to indicate whether any insurmountable difficulty will be caused if the court issues an order to this effect.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In its reply filed Friday, the EC explained the various measures associated with EVM and VVPAT, and said &amp;ldquo;the present system has been adopted after detailed study and consideration of all aspects, and bringing into play all safeguards and checks as have been felt necessary&amp;rdquo;. It added that to alter the system &amp;ldquo;when polls are imminent and polling is to commence from April 11, 2019&amp;hellip; might not be feasible&amp;rdquo;.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;The Commission said it had engaged the Indian Statistical Institute to submit a report in view of demands from political parties to increase the sample size for VVPAT slip verification from 10% to 100%. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Maintaining it was in favour of continuing the existing system of random checking of VVPAT slips from one EVM per assembly segment for the Lok Sabha and assembly polls, the Election Commission has told the Supreme Court that increasing it to 50 per cent &amp;ldquo;shall enlarge the time required for counting to about six days&amp;rdquo;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The EC&amp;rsquo;s affidavit in court came in response to a petition by 21 political parties, which had sought directions to the poll body to randomly verify at least 50 per cent of electronic voting machines (EVMs) using voter verifiable paper audit trail (VVPAT) slips in the assembly and general elections starting next month.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hearing the plea on March 25, a bench headed by Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi told the EC that it &amp;ldquo;would like&amp;rdquo; the poll panel &amp;ldquo;to increase&amp;rdquo; the number of random VVPAT checks, and asked it to indicate whether any insurmountable difficulty will be caused if the court issues an order to this effect.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In its reply filed Friday, the EC explained the various measures associated with EVM and VVPAT, and said &amp;ldquo;the present system has been adopted after detailed study and consideration of all aspects, and bringing into play all safeguards and checks as have been felt necessary&amp;rdquo;. It added that to alter the system &amp;ldquo;when polls are imminent and polling is to commence from April 11, 2019&amp;hellip; might not be feasible&amp;rdquo;.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;em&gt;The Commission said it had engaged the Indian Statistical Institute to submit a report in view of demands from political parties to increase the sample size for VVPAT slip verification from 10% to 100%. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Maintaining it was in favour of continuing the existing system of random checking of VVPAT slips from one EVM per assembly segment for the Lok Sabha and assembly polls, the Election Commission has told the Supreme Court that increasing it to 50 per cent &amp;ldquo;shall enlarge the time required for counting to about six days&amp;rdquo;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The EC&amp;rsquo;s affidavit in court came in response to a petition by 21 political parties, which had sought directions to the poll body to randomly verify at least 50 per cent of electronic voting machines (EVMs) using voter verifiable paper audit trail (VVPAT) slips in the assembly and general elections starting next month.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hearing the plea on March 25, a bench headed by Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi told the EC that it &amp;ldquo;would like&amp;rdquo; the poll panel &amp;ldquo;to increase&amp;rdquo; the number of random VVPAT checks, and asked it to indicate whether any insurmountable difficulty will be caused if the court issues an order to this effect.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In its reply filed Friday, the EC explained the various measures associated with EVM and VVPAT, and said &amp;ldquo;the present system has been adopted after detailed study and consideration of all aspects, and bringing into play all safeguards and checks as have been felt necessary&amp;rdquo;. It added that to alter the system &amp;ldquo;when polls are imminent and polling is to commence from April 11, 2019&amp;hellip; might not be feasible&amp;rdquo;.&lt;br /&gt;

Maintaining it was in favour of continuing the existing system of random checking of VVPAT slips from one EVM per assembly segment for the Lok Sabha and assembly polls, the Election Commission has told the Supreme Court that increasing it to 50 per cent &amp;ldquo;shall enlarge the time required for counting to about six days&amp;rdquo;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The EC&amp;rsquo;s affidavit in court came in response to a petition by 21 political parties, which had sought directions to the poll body to randomly verify at least 50 per cent of electronic voting machines (EVMs) using voter verifiable paper audit trail (VVPAT) slips in the assembly and general elections starting next month.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hearing the plea on March 25, a bench headed by Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi told the EC that it &amp;ldquo;would like&amp;rdquo; the poll panel &amp;ldquo;to increase&amp;rdquo; the number of random VVPAT checks, and asked it to indicate whether any insurmountable difficulty will be caused if the court issues an order to this effect.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In its reply filed Friday, the EC explained the various measures associated with EVM and VVPAT, and said &amp;ldquo;the present system has been adopted after detailed study and consideration of all aspects, and bringing into play all safeguards and checks as have been felt necessary&amp;rdquo;. It added that to alter the system &amp;ldquo;when polls are imminent and polling is to commence from April 11, 2019&amp;hellip; might not be feasible&amp;rdquo;.&lt;br /&gt;

EC tells SC: More VVPAT checks can delay counting by six days -Ananthakrishnan G

-The Indian Express The Commission said it had engaged the Indian Statistical Institute to submit a report in view of demands from political parties to increase the sample size for VVPAT slip verification from 10% to 100%. Maintaining it was in favour of continuing the existing system of random checking of VVPAT slips from one EVM per assembly segment for the Lok Sabha and assembly polls, the Election Commission has told the Supreme Court that increasing it to 50 per cent “shall enlarge the time required for counting to about six days”. The EC’s affidavit in court came in response to a petition by 21 political parties, which had sought directions to the poll body to randomly verify at least 50 per cent of electronic voting machines (EVMs) using voter verifiable paper audit trail (VVPAT) slips in the assembly and general elections starting next month. Hearing the plea on March 25, a bench headed by Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi told the EC that it “would like” the poll panel “to increase” the number of random VVPAT checks, and asked it to indicate whether any insurmountable difficulty will be caused if the court issues an order to this effect. In its reply filed Friday, the EC explained the various measures associated with EVM and VVPAT, and said “the present system has been adopted after detailed study and consideration of all aspects, and bringing into play all safeguards and checks as have been felt necessary”. It added that to alter the system “when polls are imminent and polling is to commence from April 11, 2019… might not be feasible”. Please click here to read more.
