Ahead of by-elections in two seats, two government officers in Madhya Pradesh have been transferred over the ongoing controversy regarding Electronic Voting Machines. The Election Commission has asked a panel of names to replace the District Magistrate and the Superintendent of Police of Bhind district. The order came after reports that machines with the Voter Verified Audit Slip Facility or VVPATs were dispensing slips with the BJP symbol irrespective of which button was pressed.
