Election commission revises protocol for symbol loading unit of EVM, VVPAT
Wednesday, 1 May 2024 The Election Commission of India has issued revised protocols for handling and storing symbol loading units (SLUs) of EVMs and VVPATs, following a Supreme Court order. SLUs must now be sealed in containers after symbol loading and stored for 45 days. Access to SLU storage areas requires invitation to candidates or their representatives.
Senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, joining the EVM debate once again, has voiced serious concerns about the transparency and accountability of India's electronic voting machines (EVMs), referring to them as a “black box” and citing a recent controversy involving the Mumbai North West Lok Sabha seat.

Elon Musk advised against using electronic voting machines (EVMs) due to hacking risks, sparking debates on their security amid irregularities in Puerto Rico's primaries. However, India defended its third-generation M3 EVMs as tamper-proof, with no connectivity and oversight from IIT experts and the Election Commission. The Supreme Court issued directives to further strengthen EVM security while rejecting demands for 100% VVPAT verification.
