THINGS YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT ELECTRONIC VOTING MACHINES (EVMs)
 
Did you know that the use of electro voting machine or EVMs, results in saving of 10,000 tones of paper that in return preserves forests.
 
In 1999 general election 7, 7000 tones of paper was used for printing ballot papers and 10,00 tones to be used in 2009 general election.
 
Voters in all Lok Sabha constituencies going to the polls in april-may will cast their votes through EVMs. The house has 543 elective seats.
 
Here are some more interesting facts about the handy device.
 
The EVM is a simple electronic device used to record votes in place of ballot papers and boxes which were used earlier.
 
The EVEM was first used in India in 1982 in a by-election at the Parur assembly constituency of Kerala and in only 50 polling stations.
 
EVMs are manufactured by two central government undertakings—Bharat Electronic Limited and Electronics Corporation of India Limited.  The election
 Commission of India gets EVMs from both of them.
 
 
An electronic voting machine can be used in areas without electricity as it runs on alkaline batteries.
 
An electronic voting machine can record a maximum number of 3,840 votes which far exceeds the number of voters(usually less than 1,400) assigned to a polling station.
 
Election can be conducted through EVMs if the number of candidates does not exceed 64. If the number of candidates exceeds 64, the poll has to be conducted through conventional ballot paper/boxes.
 
 
Utmost care has been taken to make electronic voting machines temper proof. The programming of the microprocessor chip used in EVMs is burned into the chip. Any attempt to alter the existing programme on the chip would destroy its existing programme and render it useless.
 
The polling results is stored permanently in the memory chip of the EVM till it is intentionally cleared for readying the machine for subsequent elections. Removal of batteries from the machine does not have any effect on its memory.
 
The 2004 general elections were conducted totally by using 10.75 lakh (1.75million) electronic machines in the country.
