The Election Commission (EC) has a plan to use Election Voting Machine (EVM) on a smaller scale in the next general election, said Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) KM Nurul Huda.
The CEC came up with the remark while inaugurating the EVM Fair at Public Hall in Khulna on Saturday.
He also stated that EVM will help to check vote rigging, as per a report on UNB.
The EVM system has been launched to ensure transparency and a rigging-free voting to secure the interest of voters, he said.
In the current system, irregularities can occur in handling the ballot papers but EVM can eliminate such irregularities, Nurul Huda said.
Chaired by Deputy Commissioner Md Helal Hossain, the programme, was attended, among others, by Divisional Commissioner Lokman Hossain Mia, Deputy Inspector General of Police Md Didar Ahmad, KMP Commissioner Humayun Kabir and Police Super SM Shafiullah.
