VVPAT training for common people begins across the city

AGARTALA:

With the initiative of the office of DM West, the common people including the school teachers along with the common people were given training on the functioning of the VVPAT Machines ahead of the Tripura Assembly election in the state.

The training as well demonstration was provided at different places of Agartala city and its surrounding areas.

The Election Commission has sent voter-verified paper audit trail machines to Tripura for use in Assembly elections next year. The machines will be used in the state for the first time.

The machines were introduced following a controversy over faulty credit of votes in electronic voting machines (EVM)s. VVPATs confirm vote credit in a visible paper trail within seven seconds of tendering vote. The machines will be used along with EVMs.

Huge enthusiasm was seen among the people at Bodhjung Nagar Chowmuhani where the training began, followed by Mora Chowmuhani and other areas. 
The demonstration is done to create awareness and exercise in the poll-bound state to educate voters on the use of VVPAT machines, to ensure that they review the paper trail after casting their vote within the seven-second window.
