EC's EVM hacking challenge: AAP seeks official communication

The AAP today sought an official communication from the Election Commission after it threw an "open challenge" to people to try hack its EVMs.
"Has the Election Commission issued a press release or an official statement? Is an attempt being made to plant such news before the MCD polls? We demand an official statement from the Election Commission on this," AAP leader Ashish Khetan said.
Come try hack EVMs and show they can be tampered with, the Election Commission said today, inviting political parties and experts to the "open challenge".
While the Commission is yet to decide on the exact date, it said the challenge would be held in the first week of May and could continue for ten days.

The last time such an event had taken place was in 2009 when 100 machines from different parts of the country were kept at Vigyan Bhawan. No one, the EC claimed, could hack the electronic voting machines (EVMs).
