New Delhi: The Election Commission will allow political parties to have a try at hacking EVMs at various sessions beginning from June 3. Announcing the details of the challenge at a press conference here, CEC Nasim Zaidi said the EVMs would be those which were used in the recent Assembly polls in the five states. The CEC said the parties can try to tamper with the machines in two ways.
 

Either, they can do it by pressing various combination of the keys of the machines or by using some external device like mobile or Bluetooth etc. Parties can select four machines from four polling stations in either of the five states where the polls were held. And each of these parties can nominate three authorised persons for trying at these machines.

The CEC decision to open EVMs for trial by political parties came after complaints from several them of that these EVMs were tampered with in the recent Assembly polls. (UNI)
