What do you mean by EVM?
The full form of EVM is Electronic Voting Machine. This is an electronic voting machine. It was used in the recent 2017 state elections in five states of India. Today, he replaced paper ballots in local elections, state elections, and general (parliamentary) elections in India. The EVM consists of two blocks; the control unit and the voting department. These two blocks are connected by a cable. The voting block is located inside the polling station, and the control block remains with the polling station staff. The voting block has blue buttons marked horizontally with party symbols and the corresponding names of the candidates. There is a button on the control unit that says "Messenger". The voter voted by pressing the required blue button on the voting block. As soon as the last voter casts his or her ballot, the polling station officer presses the Close button so that the EVM does not accept any votes. After the election, the voting block is disconnected from the control block and stored separately.
About EVM
History of EVM
1.The first voting machine in India was invented by MB Hanifa in 1980. The original design of this car was shown to the public at various government exhibitions in six different cities of Tamil Nadu.
2.In 1982, the EVM was first used in limited polling stations in the Paravur constituency in Kerala.

How EVM works?
The EVM consists of two blocks, a control block, and a voting block. The two blocks are connected by a 5 m cable. The voting unit simplifies the voting of voters with the selected buttons, and the control unit controls the polling stations, saves the counting of votes, and displays the results on 7-segment LED displays. The operating program of the controller used in EVM is constantly engraved on silicon during production. Once the controller is created, no one (including the manufacturer) can change the program. The control unit is headed by one of the officers of the voting booth, and the voting part is managed by the voter alone. The officer confirms the voter's identity and then turns on the electronic voting block to receive the new vote. As soon as a voter participates in the voting, the voting block shows the vote to the voter and records it. The voting booth officer, the nearest command of the control unit, registers the vote, changing the setting to prevent multiple voting. The process is repeated when the next voter with a new voter ID appears in front of the booth employee.
