According to official sources, the election office, Ukhrul had informed all the political parties of the district to be present during the checking and the process of sealing of the tested EVMs is underway to avoid any complaints or misunderstandings as well - as to ensure that the FLC is conducted in a fair manner.
It fs expected that altogether 250 EVM machines will be subjected to FLC.
At least 10 pc of the EVMs available in the district election office were tested and sealed by BHEL engineers in the presence of election staff.
During a mock poll over 1000 votes were cast in each EVM to detect any malfunction in order to ensure that the EVM develops no problem during election.
