- The revised SOP aims to boost transparency and uphold electoral integrity.
- Candidates can now request verification of up to 5% of EVMs used in an election.
- The process includes a mock poll of up to 1,400 votes per machine.
- If EVM results match the VVPAT slips, the machine is considered verified.
