Question 2 of 5
2. Question
With reference to ‘Remote Electronic Voting Machine’, consider the following statements
- The RVMs are stand-alone networked systems which will effectively be providing the voter the same experience as currently used EVMs
- A Radio-frequency based scanning system will be used to read the voter’s constituency cards and display the requisite candidates based on the constituency number
Select the correct statement(s)
Correct
Solution(d)
Statement Analysis:
Statement 1 Statement 2 Incorrect Incorrect The RVMs are stand alone, non-networked systems, which will effectively be providing the voter the same experience as currently used EVMs. The unique feature of RVMs is that a single Remote Ballot Unit (RBU) will be able to cater to multiple constituencies (as many as 72) by using a “dynamic ballot display board” instead of the usual printed paper ballot sheet on EVMs. After verifying a voter’s identity, their constituency card will be read with a public display showing the constituency details and candidates. This will also be displayed privately, on the BUOD in the RVM’s RBU. The Ballot Unit Overlay Display (BUOD) will show the requisite candidates based on the constituency number read on the voter’s Constituency card. A barcode scanning system will be used to read these cards. Context – the Election Commission (EC) announced that it is ready to pilot remote voting for domestic migrants.
