ELECTRONIC VOTING MACHINE
1.
An Electronic Voting Machine consists of two Units – a Control Unit and a Balloting Unit – joined by a five-meter cable. 

2. The Control Unit is with the Presiding Officer or a Polling Officer and the Balloting Unit is placed inside the voting compartment.
3. Instead of issuing a ballot paper, the Polling Officer in-charge of the Control Unit will press the Ballot Button. 
4. This will enable the voter to cast his vote by pressing the blue button on the Balloting Unit against the candidate and symbol of his choice.
