Electronic voting machines cannot be hacked: Shibli

At a media briefing held in the Islamabad Parliament Building, the government has arranged to show EVM to lawmakers, and the Minister of Science assured everyone that these machines “will not be hacked or full of loopholes” because they are not connected to the Internet and rely on Mechanisms such as Bluetooth, WiFi or operating system. He praised the EVM as a solution for manipulation during and after the election. Faraz added that through electronic voting, elections will be transparent and the results will be instant and trustworthy. The Minister of Science called on lawmakers to come and test the EVM on display to meet their own needs. He said that the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) decides whether the machines meet the requirements, adding that ECP is the only constitutional body that can approve or reject them. “We are coordinating with ECP. Before or after Muharram [we will demonstrate EVMs to the ECP], Obviously it is the biggest stakeholder,” he said. He added that the government had tried to incorporate all the requirements of the ECP into the EVM. In response to some questions about how the EVM works, Faraz stated that it is impossible to repeat the vote, adding that The EVM is not connected to national databases and registration agencies. He emphasized that voters will continue to be unrecognizable, and voting will not pass thumb impression verification, but the voter list. “The machine will only decide to enter the voting process,” he explained. Faraz said During the general election, 3% of the votes or a total of 1.8 million votes were wasted across the country, and the margin of victory is usually reduced to one or two votes. He said that the EVM will eliminate this waste. At the same time, the Speaker of the National Assembly After testing the EVM for himself, Asad Qaiser said on Twitter that technological advancement is the “key” to ensure the transparency of el. The electoral process and the strengthening of democracy. Last week, Prime Minister Imran Khan himself received a detailed introduction and said A new locally manufactured EVM was demonstrated. Faraz stated that the development of the machine took the ground reality into consideration and complied with ECP specifications, which had previously rejected the use of EVM on the grounds of technology. According to the minister, the new EVM is for voters Simple and user-friendly for voting staff, it will eliminate opportunities for manipulation, because it will not be eavesdropped or hacked, because it has no operating system and will not connect to the Internet. Since the 2013 election, the ruling PTI Has been discussing the use of EVM. The prototype was first shown in the Parliament Building in May. In early May, the Prime Minister invited the opposition and the government to sit down and participate in the implementation of election reforms, such as using EVM to restore the credibility of local polls In a series of tweets, the prime minister said that after the NA-249 Karachi vote, all parties “yelled fouls and claimed manipulation.” “The use of technology and EVM is the only answer to restore the credibility of the election. I invite the opposition to sit with us and choose from our available EVM models to restore the credibility of our election,” he wrote on Twitter.
