The Supreme Court of India has recently made significant decisions regarding the electoral process. Firstly, the court has agreed to examine the promotion of the 'None of the Above' (NOTA) option as a fictional candidate to enhance voter awareness, as reported by @utkarsh_aanand. Additionally, on April 26, the court upheld the use of Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs), dismissing a plea to revert to paper ballots. This decision was made on the day of the second phase of polling for the Lok Sabha elections, affirming the transparency and reliability of the current electoral system. The court's stance was supported by former Chief Election Commissioners who stated that 100% cross-verification of EVMs is unnecessary.
