How do we make sure that no further vote are recorded after the close of the poll?
Ans: Soon after the last vote is cast, the Polling Officer will press the ‘Close’ Button in the Control Unit. After that the EVM will not accept any votes. And also, soon after the close of polls, the Balloting Unit is disconnected from the Control Unit and separated. At the close of the poll, Polling Officer will hand over to each polling agent an account of votes recorded. At the time of counting of votes, the total will be compared with this account and if there is any discrepancy, this will be pointed out by the Counting Agents.
