National Database and Registration Authority NADRA has launched a foolproof system to prevent rigging in election through electronic voting machine (EVM). The system aims at ensuring transparency and rigging free elections ensuring that each voter will be able to cast only one vote.
Instead of using magnetized ink which amounts to rupees 2.5 billion, with the help of electronic thumb verification the new EVM solution will incur only 40 percent of total cost, claimed NADRA Chairman Tariq Malik on Thursday.
Although Malik is scheduled to give detailed briefing on EVM to Chief Election Commissioner Justice Nasirul Mulk and members of ECP next week, some of the main features of EVM are mentioned below:
First component of EVM
Voter Identification Unit: carries out a voter’s identification from his CNIC registered at the respective polling station.
Voter Authentication Process: On successful identification, fingerprints of voters will be verified from the NADRA database.
Second component of EVM
Vote Casting Unit: Displays the list of candidates after mapping the voter’s constituency
Recording and Printing: Records and prints voter's selection of a candidate
Third component of EVM
Result Management Unit: A list of candidates along with the number of bagged votes will be printed once polling is done. This system-generated list will be reconciled by presiding officer through manual counting of printed ballots in presence of polling agents nominated by their respective candidates.

Although Malik is scheduled to give detailed briefing on EVM to Chief Election Commissioner Justice Nasirul Mulk and members of ECP next week, some of the main features of EVM are mentioned below:
The
first component of EVM is “Voter Identification Unit” which would carry
out a voter’s identification from his CNIC registered at the respective
polling station.
On successful identification, voter authentication process would be initiated through which fingerprints of voters will be verified from the NADRA database. On authentication, the voter will be allowed to cast the vote through a vote casting unit.
The second component of EVM is the “Vote Casting Unit” which would map the voter’s constituency and display the list of candidates.
Selection of a candidate by the voter will be recorded in the local database as well as on a printed ballot. During this process, the voter will be assisted through multimedia.
The third component of EVM is the “Result Management Unit” whereby once polling is done, the vote casting unit will print a list of candidates along with the number of bagged votes. This system-generated list will be reconciled by presiding officer through manual counting of printed ballots in presence of polling agents nominated by their respective candidates.
Malik is scheduled to give detailed demonstration and briefing on EVM to Chief Election Commissioner Justice Nasirul Mulk and members of ECP next week. - See more at: http://www.pakistantoday.com.pk/2013/12/12/news/national/nadra-comes-up-with-solution-for-rigging-free-polls/#sthash.kDTOmWCo.dpuf

nice system
ReplyDeleteit is still not fool proof . the recording of real time database must b on 3 different locations , one in supreme court / one in ECP and one is ONLINE (for aam public to see) and also voter must receive a receipt that he has cast his vote (equipped with the barcode) in case of future verification it will b a matter of a second to let any one know to whom this person cast his vote !
