'We can go back to paper ballots': Supreme Court discusses issues with VVPAT system
Tuesday, 16 April 2024 VVPAT is a system that allows voters to verify if their vote has been cast correctly and counted towards the candidate they intended to support. The VVPAT produces a paper slip that is securely stored and can be accessed in case of any disputes or discrepancies.

Elon Musk took to X (formerly Twitter) to praise India's efficient and swift vote-counting process, contrasting it with the delays faced by California in finalising its election results. In his post, Musk highlighted how India, with its electronic voting machines (EVMs) and voter verifiable paper audit trails (VVPATs), was able to count a staggering 640 million votes in a single day during the recent elections. This stands in stark contrast to California, which has been struggling to count votes nearly 20 days after the election, largely due to complicated mail-in ballot procedures and decentralised local election systems. Musk emphasised the scalability and efficiency of India's centralised election oversight, led by the Election Commission, while criticising the slow and cumbersome system in California. His comments have sparked debate on the effectiveness of different electoral systems, with many praising India's handling of large-scale elections.
