EC dispatches teams to study high cases of VVPAT failure
The Election Commission on Thursday dispatched two teams to Uttar Pradesh's Kairana and Maharashtra's Bhandara-Gondia to study the reasons behind the "abnormally high" cases of failures and defects in VVPAT machines during bypolls. The teams are expected to analyse factors behind the failure of the machines and cite the general conditions under which VVPATs were operated in the polling booths.
