EC develops new EVM

New Delhi: The Election Commission has told the Supreme Court that the new electronic voting machines (EVMs)'s are almost ready. The Election Commission will show the new EVMs to all the political parties sometime in May.

The special feature of the new EVM is that as soon as the voter presses a button to cast his vote, a screen will show him that candidate whom he or she has voter for. The EVM will also print a slip which will show the candidate voted for.

But the slip will not be given to the voter and will be deposited in a box at the polling booth. However, the Election Commission has not yet clarified when the new EVMs will be used.
