Silchar March 11 : The office of the chief electoral officer in Mizoram has announced that electronic voting machines (EVMs) will be used during the April 16 Lok Sabha polls for the lone seat in the state.
The machines will also be used for Mizoram’s Assembly bypolls for the South Tuipui constituency, to be held on April 16.
The state’s chief electoral officer, Lalmalsawma, said in Aizawl yesterday that against the backdrop of the threat posed by the Mizo National Front (MNF) to boycott the polls if EVMs are used, his office was “carefully proceeding with the chores of holding a hassle-free parliamentary election and an Assembly byelection.”
Lalmalsawma disclosed that the EVMs were now being constantly monitored and checked.
