Indian company may grab electronic voting tender

Various stakeholders, including political parties, analysts and the media, joined Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) officials to sample the stand-alone electronic vote machine, which is expected to be debuted at the 2019 general elections.

To avoid disruptions during the power cuts, the machines use batteries, and are not connected to a data network.  The portable and light machine allows a voter to first check if they have voted for a party of their choice before selecting a candidate by pressing a button.
