Gyanesh Kumar, the Chief Election Commissioner (CEC), declared on Saturday that electronic voting machines (EVMs) are "tamper-proof" and "safe." According to him, EVMs used in India are not able to be tampered with in any manner and cannot be linked to the internet, Bluetooth, or infrared.
"Electoral voting machines, or EVMs, are utilized in India. EVMs have been the subject of legal scrutiny. India's EVMs are not able to be linked to the internet, Bluetooth, or infrared. There is no way to connect the EVMs to anything. As a result, it cannot be tampered with. Thus, India's electronic voting machines are impenetrable," Kumar told reporters in the Ramgarh area of Jharkhand.
According to him, more than five crore voter-variable paper audit trail (VVPAT) slips have been counted, and no inconsistencies have been discovered thus far.
On Friday night, Kumar, who was visiting Jharkhand for three days, landed in Ranchi. On Saturday, the CECon engaged with Ramgarh election officials.
"Here, I spoke with volunteers and returning officers. "I felt that Jharkhand has a solid democratic foundation after meeting them," he remarked.
According to him, all Indian citizens who have reached the age of eighteen must register to vote.
The voter list in Jharkhand is nearly entirely suitable for voters and others, according to Kumar, who also stated that there are currently no ongoing appeals (pertaining to EPIC cards) with the chief electoral officer (CEO) or district election officer.
