If this facility is introduced, it would be for the first time that an assembly poll in the UT will have the new system for verification by voters.
Chief Electoral Officer of Puducherry V Candavelou told PTI today that it was, however, for the ECI to decide whether the VVPA machines would be installed in all polling booths.
He said the ECI was only considering a plan to install VVPAT machines in Puducherry which would go to Assembly polls in the next few months.

After the voter views, the receipt goes automatically into a container linked to the Electronic Voting machine and the receipt cannotbe taken by the voter.
