On SC nudge, EC revises norms to store ‘symbol loading units’
Wednesday, 1 May 2024
Complying with a Supreme Court order, Election Commission has directed all state chief electoral officers (CEOs) to follow the new protocols on handling and storing ‘symbol loading units’ (SLUs). The Supreme Court had mandated the sealing of the machines, securing them in containers, and storing them in strongrooms alongside electronic voting machines (EVMs) for a minimum of 45 days following the announcement of election results.
