Supreme Court Against Return to Paper Ballots? Key Insights from VVPAT Petition Hearing| Oneindia
The Supreme Court entertained petitions, including one from the Association for Democratic Reforms, advocating for cross-verification of votes with VVPAT.
Amid deliberations, Justice Sanjiv Khanna expressed reservations about reverting to paper ballots, citing historical challenges.
The debate underscores efforts to enhance electoral transparency and address concerns about voter verifiability.

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.
