What is the blame in the voting system?
Currently in the counting system of votes, the result is obtained from each EVM, then the votes cast in relation to each candidate are summoned and the result is declared. The fault of this system of counting is that candidates can know from where they have received how much votes they get. This creates problems of violence, oppression and keeping supporters of opposition parties out of development activities after the election. Kumar said that to deal with this, technologies like already developed yogmeter by the Commission will ensure that not the votes received by each candidate are disclosed. The Chief Election Commissioner said that I believe the matter should be ascertained. Political consent should be attempted and tested on a pilot basis to increase voting confidentiality and protect the integrity of the electoral process.
