Supreme Court Rejects 100% VVPAT-EVM Verification: Focus on Building Trust

The Supreme Court has dismissed the call for 100% verification of VVPAT slips against EVM counts, stating that such a measure could undermine public trust in the electoral process. Instead, the court highlighted the importance of cultivating faith in the existing system.

Why 100% VVPAT Verification Was Rejected

The Court argued that implementing 100% VVPAT verification would be impractical and could lead to significant delays in election results, potentially creating confusion and distrust. They emphasized the existing safeguards and security measures in place to ensure the integrity of the voting process.

Building a Culture of Trust

The Supreme Court stressed the need to foster confidence in the electoral system. They argued that questioning the reliability of EVMs without substantial evidence could erode public faith and hinder the democratic process. The court urged all stakeholders to focus on strengthening trust in the current system.
