The Deputy Commissioner & District Election Officer, Kumar Ramnikant IAS, today, flagged off the Mobile Demonstration Van for awareness on usage of EVM/VVPATs in connection with SVEEP activities and the forthcoming General Election to the Lok Sabha 2024 at the Office of the Deputy Commissioner.

In his message, Ramnikant said that a nationwide awareness programme on Electronic Voting Machine (EVM) and Voter Verifiable Paper Audit Trail (VVPAT) is underway to provide citizens with a first-hand experience of the voting process and familiarity with the machines. The awareness programme which is organised ahead of every General Election to Lok Sabha and State Legislative Assembly focuses on imparting knowledge about the basic features of EVMs and VVPATs, elucidating the step-by-step procedure of casting votes, and educating voters on how to verify their choices through the VVPAT slip, reported the DIPR.
