&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;NEW DELHI: &lt;/em&gt;The Election Commission has sent a fresh reminder to the law ministry seeking &amp;quot;urgent&amp;quot; sanction of funds for procurement of voter-verifiable paper audit trail (VVPAT) in time to hold the 2019 Lok Sabha elections with new-age EVMs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In a letter written to law minister Ravi Shankar Prasad on March 22, Chief Election Commissioner Nasim Zaidi reiterated that the order for supply of VVPAT needed to be placed without further delay to ensure that they are ready by September 2018 to meet the requirement of next general election to the House of the People.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Commission stands fully committed to deploy VVPATs along with EVMs in all future elections so that transparency of electoral process is enhanced, integrity of the voting is preserved and voter&#039;s confidence in the process is further strengthened. It is felt that the process of procurement of VVPATs cannot be delayed any longer given prevailing environment,&amp;quot; Zaidi argued in his letter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Hence I request you to ensure urgent release of sanction orders for timely production of VVPATs as desired by the Hon&#039;ble Supreme Court of India,&amp;quot; added the CEC.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The EC&#039;s pitch for immediate sanction of funds for procuring VVPATs comes amid doubts raised by several parties, including BSP, Congress, Samajwadi Party and Aam Aadmi Party on the reliability and tamper-proof nature of EVMs. AAP chief and Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal had recently, in a tweet, alleged that &amp;quot;elections with Generation 1 EVMs (which are not VVPAT-compatible) is making a mockery of voters&amp;quot;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
EC is right now using only Generation 2 and 3 EVMs. As on date, EC owns around 53,500 &#039;Generation 3&#039; or M3 EVMs which come with a paper trail. However, to hold an entire Lok Sabha poll with VVPAT, EC would need and estimated 15.5 lakh more new-age EVMs. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;em&gt;NEW DELHI: &lt;/em&gt;The Election Commission has sent a fresh reminder to the law ministry seeking &amp;quot;urgent&amp;quot; sanction of funds for procurement of voter-verifiable paper audit trail (VVPAT) in time to hold the 2019 Lok Sabha elections with new-age EVMs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In a letter written to law minister Ravi Shankar Prasad on March 22, Chief Election Commissioner Nasim Zaidi reiterated that the order for supply of VVPAT needed to be placed without further delay to ensure that they are ready by September 2018 to meet the requirement of next general election to the House of the People.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Commission stands fully committed to deploy VVPATs along with EVMs in all future elections so that transparency of electoral process is enhanced, integrity of the voting is preserved and voter&#039;s confidence in the process is further strengthened. It is felt that the process of procurement of VVPATs cannot be delayed any longer given prevailing environment,&amp;quot; Zaidi argued in his letter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Hence I request you to ensure urgent release of sanction orders for timely production of VVPATs as desired by the Hon&#039;ble Supreme Court of India,&amp;quot; added the CEC.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The EC&#039;s pitch for immediate sanction of funds for procuring VVPATs comes amid doubts raised by several parties, including BSP, Congress, Samajwadi Party and Aam Aadmi Party on the reliability and tamper-proof nature of EVMs. AAP chief and Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal had recently, in a tweet, alleged that &amp;quot;elections with Generation 1 EVMs (which are not VVPAT-compatible) is making a mockery of voters&amp;quot;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
EC is right now using only Generation 2 and 3 EVMs. As on date, EC owns around 53,500 &#039;Generation 3&#039; or M3 EVMs which come with a paper trail. However, to hold an entire Lok Sabha poll with VVPAT, EC would need and estimated 15.5 lakh more new-age EVMs. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;em&gt;NEW DELHI: &lt;/em&gt;The Election Commission has sent a fresh reminder to the law ministry seeking &amp;quot;urgent&amp;quot; sanction of funds for procurement of voter-verifiable paper audit trail (VVPAT) in time to hold the 2019 Lok Sabha elections with new-age EVMs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In a letter written to law minister Ravi Shankar Prasad on March 22, Chief Election Commissioner Nasim Zaidi reiterated that the order for supply of VVPAT needed to be placed without further delay to ensure that they are ready by September 2018 to meet the requirement of next general election to the House of the People.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Commission stands fully committed to deploy VVPATs along with EVMs in all future elections so that transparency of electoral process is enhanced, integrity of the voting is preserved and voter&#039;s confidence in the process is further strengthened. It is felt that the process of procurement of VVPATs cannot be delayed any longer given prevailing environment,&amp;quot; Zaidi argued in his letter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Hence I request you to ensure urgent release of sanction orders for timely production of VVPATs as desired by the Hon&#039;ble Supreme Court of India,&amp;quot; added the CEC.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The EC&#039;s pitch for immediate sanction of funds for procuring VVPATs comes amid doubts raised by several parties, including BSP, Congress, Samajwadi Party and Aam Aadmi Party on the reliability and tamper-proof nature of EVMs. AAP chief and Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal had recently, in a tweet, alleged that &amp;quot;elections with Generation 1 EVMs (which are not VVPAT-compatible) is making a mockery of voters&amp;quot;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
EC is right now using only Generation 2 and 3 EVMs. As on date, EC owns around 53,500 &#039;Generation 3&#039; or M3 EVMs which come with a paper trail. However, to hold an entire Lok Sabha poll with VVPAT, EC would need and estimated 15.5 lakh more new-age EVMs. &lt;br /&gt;

<em>NEW DELHI: </em>The Election Commission has sent a fresh reminder to the law ministry seeking &quot;urgent&quot; sanction of funds for procurement of voter-verifiable paper audit trail (VVPAT) in time to hold the 2019 Lok Sabha elections with new-age EVMs.<br />
<br />
In a letter written to law minister Ravi Shankar Prasad on March 22, Chief Election Commissioner Nasim Zaidi reiterated that the order for supply of VVPAT needed to be placed without further delay to ensure that they are ready by September 2018 to meet the requirement of next general election to the House of the People.<br />

Need to buy VVPAT machines without further delay for 2019 Lok Sabha polls: CEC to government -Bharti Jain

-The Times of India NEW DELHI: The Election Commission has sent a fresh reminder to the law ministry seeking "urgent" sanction of funds for procurement of voter-verifiable paper audit trail (VVPAT) in time to hold the 2019 Lok Sabha elections with new-age EVMs. In a letter written to law minister Ravi Shankar Prasad on March 22, Chief Election Commissioner Nasim Zaidi reiterated that the order for supply of VVPAT needed to be placed without further delay to ensure that they are ready by September 2018 to meet the requirement of next general election to the House of the People. "Commission stands fully committed to deploy VVPATs along with EVMs in all future elections so that transparency of electoral process is enhanced, integrity of the voting is preserved and voter's confidence in the process is further strengthened. It is felt that the process of procurement of VVPATs cannot be delayed any longer given prevailing environment," Zaidi argued in his letter. "Hence I request you to ensure urgent release of sanction orders for timely production of VVPATs as desired by the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India," added the CEC. The EC's pitch for immediate sanction of funds for procuring VVPATs comes amid doubts raised by several parties, including BSP, Congress, Samajwadi Party and Aam Aadmi Party on the reliability and tamper-proof nature of EVMs. AAP chief and Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal had recently, in a tweet, alleged that "elections with Generation 1 EVMs (which are not VVPAT-compatible) is making a mockery of voters". EC is right now using only Generation 2 and 3 EVMs. As on date, EC owns around 53,500 'Generation 3' or M3 EVMs which come with a paper trail. However, to hold an entire Lok Sabha poll with VVPAT, EC would need and estimated 15.5 lakh more new-age EVMs. Please click here to read more.
