Arvind Kejriwal Evms

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday said that the delay by the Election Commission in releasing the final voter turnout for the capital city's assembly polls held a day ago was "absolutely shocking".

With exit polls in Delhi predicting a comfortable win for the ruling Aam Aadmi Party, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal called a meeting of senior leaders of the party and its election strategist Prashant Kishor to discuss the security of Electronic Voting Machines or EVMs ahead of counting day on Tuesday, sources said.

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Monday urged his supporters to press the button for the broom, AAP's election symbol, on the EVM machine so hard that the party breaks its 2015 record of winning 67 assembly seats.

The opposition has launched a united attack on the Electronic Voting Machines, and called for a return to ballot paper.The meeting of at least six key parties took place in Delhi this afternoon, two days after the first phase of the national elections and three days before the next.

After the Chief Electoral Officer revealed that the electronic voting machines (EVM) used in Wednesday's Delhi University Student Union election were not issued by the poll panel, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal wrote in a tweet that possessing EVM machines without the Election Commission's permission was a criminal offence.

Neither of the two parties that had volunteered to hack electronic voting machines or EVMs attempted their mission today. Instead, they chose to watch a nearly four-hour long demo by the Election Commission. "NCP, CPM did not participate in EVM challenge," said Chief Election Commissioner Nasim Zaidi.

Coming to the defence of the Election Commission that has been the target of attacks from political parties over its voting machines, the Uttarakhand High Court on Friday barred political parties and others from criticising the use of these machines, or EVMs, in the five state assembly elections till pending election petitions are decided.

The Election Commission has organised more than 10 vote machines that were recently used in elections in Uttar Pradesh for tomorrow's hackathon, where political parties will try to prove in Delhi that the machines can be rigged.

Arvind Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) will hold an EVM or Electronic Voting Machine hackathon on the same day as the Election Commission's challenge for parties to prove allegations of tampering.

In its search for a hackathon that meets its standards, Arvind Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party has dispatched its engineer-lawmaker Saurabh Bharadwaj to Botswana, the south African country that had invited hackers to crack the electronic voting machines, or EVMs, earlier this month.

Only Left party CPI(M) and Sharad Pawar's Nationalist Congress Party will participate in the Election Commission's challenge to hack an electronic voting machine or EVM next week. Lalu Yadav's RJD made a last-minute dash to confirm participation, but its application was rejected by the poll panel as it reached 39 minutes after the 5 pm deadline on ...

Senior AAP leader Kumar Vishwas, who had recently aired his differences with the party leadership, skipped a major party event, sparking whispers that the truce in the organisation may be short-lived. Sources said poet-turned-politician Vishwas who had differed with Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal over the party's stand on blaming EVMs alone for its...

As the Election Commission fixed June 3 for its open challenge to political parties to prove that its electronic voting machines could be tampered, the Arvind Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party renewed its demand for a hackathon and not just a challenge that didn't allow them to tinker with the machine.

The long-awaited EVM Challenge to establish that the Electronic Voting Machines cannot be tampered will start from June 3, Chief Election Commissioner Nasim Zaidi announced on Saturday. But the Election Commission doesn't expect anyone to win the challenge. The poll body came up with the challenge so as to reassure political parties that raised dou...

Arvind Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party that returned disappointed from Friday's all party meet because the Election Commission's announced a challenge seems to have found a hackathon that would get its technocrats a free hand to break into Electronic Voting Machines, or EVMs. But it is in Botswana, 8,000 km away from the national capital.
