ECI EVMs are Non-Tamperable
The
Election Commission, through media, has learnt about a so called demonstration
of tampering of ‘look-alike’ EVM. In this context it should be understood that
it is possible for anyone to make any electronic gadget which ‘looks-like’ ECI
EVM and demonstrate any Magic or Tampering. Very simply put, any 'look-alike''
machine is just a different gadget, which is manifestly designed and made to
function in a ‘tampered’ manner and has no relevance, incidence or bearing on
the Commission's EVMs. It is commonsense that gadgets other than ECI EVMs can
be programmed to perform in a pre-determined way, but it simply cannot be
implied that ECI EVMs will behave in the same manner because the ECI EVMs are Technically
Secured and function under an elaborate Administrative and Security Protocol. Such
so called demonstration on extraneous and duplicate gadgets which are not owned
by the ECI cannot be exploited to influence our Intelligent Citizens & Electorate
to assail or vilify the EVMs used by the Commission in its electoral process.
Election
Commission of India (ECI) has scheduled an All Political Parties meeting on 12th
May 2017 for EVM Issues and other Electoral Reforms. The Status Paper on ECI
EVMs is available on ECI’s website (http://eci.nic.in/eci_main1/current/StatusPaperonEVM_09052017.pdf)
which gives details of Safety and Security Measures taken by ECI to make ECI
EVMs non-tamperable.
