Detailed explanation-1: -Electronic voting is the standard means of conducting elections using Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) in India. The system was developed and tested by the state-owned Electronics Corporation of India and Bharat Electronics in the 1990s.
Detailed explanation-2: -"None of the Above” (or NOTA) has been provided as an option to the voters of India in most elections since 2009. The vote does not hold any electoral value: even if a majority of votes are cast the candidate with the largest vote share would be declared the winner.
Detailed explanation-3: -Ans. EVMs can record a maximum of 2000 votes. As normally the total number of electors in a polling station will not exceed 1500, the capacity of EVMs is more than sufficient. Q5.
Detailed explanation-4: -Answer. EVMs can cater to a maximum of 64 candidates including NOTA. There is provision for 16 candidates in a Balloting Unit. If the total number of candidates exceeds 16, a second Balloting Unit can be linked parallel to the first Balloting Unit.
