📑 Media Q&A Sheet
Q1: Why are you challenging the current EVM system?
A: Because only 5% of VVPAT slips are verified, leaving 95% of votes unchecked. This undermines transparency, equality, and the constitutional guarantee of free and fair elections.
Q2: Are you questioning the Election Commission’s integrity?
A: This petition is not about individuals or institutions, but about constitutional principles. The Election Commission has a duty under Article 324 to ensure free and fair elections, and full verification is essential to fulfill that duty.
Q3: What reliefs are you seeking from the Supreme Court?
A: We seek three clear directions:
100% VVPAT verification.
Independent technical audits of EVM firmware and chips.
Oversight panels to monitor strong‑room and counting processes.
Q4: How does this case connect to the Constitution?
A: It invokes Articles 14 (Equality), 19(1)(a) (Right to Know), 324 (Free & Fair Elections), and 326 (Universal Suffrage). It also rests on the Basic Structure Doctrine, which makes democracy and free elections inviolable.
Q5: Is this politically motivated?
A: No. This is a constitutional petition. It is not about parties or candidates, but about restoring public faith in the electoral process. Democracy must be transparent to be trusted.
Q6: What message do you want the public to take away?
A: Democracy is not about counting votes fast — it is about counting them transparently and equally.
