Indian Voting Machines Compared with Diebold

Posted by michael on from the he-who-does-not-learn-from-history dept.

Hanuman_Ji writes "The Indian general elections, 2004 is now complete - and the result is an upset. As reported earlier, this election was conducted entirely through Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs). This article gives a nice overview of the machines used in this process and also adds a comparison with the Diebold machines. More information is also available at the equipment manufacturer's website."

    From the comparison in the article:

    Power Supply
    EVM: 6V alkaline batteries
    Diebold: electricity

    So batteries don't produce electricity? Interesting...
