I ndian Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) are designed with several security features that make them highly resistant to hacking: 1. Standalone Devices: EVMs are not connected to the internet or any other network, which eliminates the risk of remote hacking. Also they don't have a radio frequency (RF) to respond to Bluetooth; they are not even connected to a power socket. EVM and VVPAT run on their own battery/ power-packs supplied by Bharat Electronics Limited / Electronics Corporation of India Limited. 2. Physical Security: Tampering with EVMs requires physical access. The machines are sealed and stored securely, with strict protocols in place to prevent unauthorized access. 3. Randomization: The distribution of EVMs is randomized, making it difficult to predict which machine will be used in which constituency. This further complicates any attempts at tampering. 4. One-Time Programmable Chips: EVMs use one-time programmable chips, which means the software c
