About the Control and Security Measures:
- Election officials have complete control over the polling process, ensuring its integrity and transparency.
- After the “CLOSE” button is pressed on the EVM control unit, no further voting is possible.
- The micro-controllers of EVMs are programmed during manufacturing, making it impossible to pre-program them in a spurious manner.
