Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

100 % verification of VVPAT ? No problem !





During hearing on 25 March , Supreme Court asked Election Commission to examine the possibility of carrying out 100 % verification of paper slips , as demanded by the Opposition parties



Last week , EC came back and said :


Even 50 % verification will delay the declaration of election results by 6 days


Hence, 100 % verification was out of question


Observing that the current confidence level in EVM-VVPAT accuracy was 99.9936%, the ECI said any increase in the sample size of verification of VVPAT slips would only lead to a “ very negligible gain in the confidence level ”.


   

Now, it is too late for the upcoming elections within the next few days , but I urge EC to consider following suggestion for the next election ( even the very next State Election ) :



Just above the EVM , mount a CCTV camera , which is connected with the EVM and gets actuated as soon as the voter presses any button on the EVM



Using “ Close Up / Zoom In “ , the camera will capture a very sharp and focussed image of the paper slip which is below the glass panel and displays following details :


#  Candidate Serial Number

#  Candidate Name

#  Candidate’s photo



Using Image Processing Software ,


This IMAGE will get converted into TEXT,

- and

Get added to “ Verification Database of EVM # ABC

[ - with the latest Facial Recognition technology available commercially, this will pose no problem ]



Each IMAGE – and its corresponding TEXT will carry a “ System Time Stamp



When voting at a booth gets over at the end of the day , this entire database is tallied with the number of votes registered



That 100 % verification , would take a few seconds  !



That “ 100 % Electronic Audit  Tally [ EAT ], will be immediately shown to the representatives of all the Political parties who are authorized by the EC to remain present inside the booth



And they will be required to sign a EAT declaration , confirming the results shown to them



No more arguments / disputes !

Dear Shri Sunil Aroraji,


If you have any doubt re the feasibility of my suggestion, I request you to contact the manufacturers of the EVMs / CCTVs / TCS / Infosys / Wipro / L&T Infotech etc
