W.P.(C) No. 434/2023
ASSOCIATION FOR DEMOCRATIC REFORMS VS ELECTION COMMISSION OF INDIA
The Division Bench (two judges) of the Supreme Court rejected the Petitioner’s demand for a complete return to paper ballots or for 100% counting of VVPAT slips. The Court acknowledged the Petitioner’s concerns regarding the transparency and reliability of EVMs but emphasised that the current system, which made the VVPAT slip visible to the voter for seven seconds before being deposited in a sealed box, provides an adequate method for verifying votes. The Court also issued directions to ensure further improvements in the electoral process to enhance voter confidence and the integrity of elections. Justice Khanna authored an opinion, and Justice Datta also wrote a concurring opinion.
