#MadrasHighCourt disposes of DMK’s petition seeking various measures to ensure the purity of elections in TN.

Election Commission informed Court:

- CCTV, webcasting, to be monitored by election officials, to cover close to 11,000 critical & vulnerable polling booths

(1/n)
- About 44,000 polling booths would be under CCTV surveillance totally
- EVMs manufactured between 2017-19 to be used; not older machines
- Pre-poll guarding of the EVMs would be conducted in accordance with Election Manual

(2/n)

#MadrasHighCourt
#Elections2021
- EVMs cannot be tampered with by any wi-fi or radio device, electronic supply inside strong rooms would be cut off to ensure no short circuit
- Random counting of votes as per SC’s directions would not take away the power of RO to count paper trail on candidate’s request

(3/n)
"... hoped that this day next week will pass as peacefully, uneventfully as today seems to be... EC should be alert, proactive, ensure that 2nd surge of pandemic is not accelerated by activities on election day" #MadrasHighCourt adds (4/4).
