Abstract

Excerpt:

"Much has been made of EVMs showing high battery levels at the day's end, particularly in booths favouring certain parties. The ECI's explanation is straightforward – machines designed for 2,000 voters and four ballot units naturally show minimal drain when handling fewer voters with single units. More importantly, the battery level debate misses a crucial point: agents can verify machine authenticity through their signatures on numbered seals, making battery levels irrelevant to the question of tampering."
