After the latest assembly elections in five states, many opposition parties raised questions over the reliability of EVMs.

Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal had urged the State Election Commission to hold the Delhi civic polls with ballot paper trail.

The EC is also planning to throw an open challenge to all stakeholders to try and hack its EVMs to remove all doubts about the voting machines.
