The Commission has issued instructions from time to time regarding proper storage of various category of EVMs and WPATs after Poll and counting of votes. However, it has come to the Commission's notice that despite clear instructions to the contrary, unused and unpolled EVMs and VVPATs are stored with the polled EVMs and WPATs in many cases, resulting in these unused EVMs & WPATs getting blocked with the polled EVMs, till the completion of EP period, making them unavailable for any other use. In order to avoid this problem and ensure that unused EVMs and VVPATs are free from any encumbrances, it is reiterated that After poll, all available EVMs and WPATs are divided in four categories, as under: Category A: P.oilgd EYMs & WPATs: Those EVMs in which votes polled at polling stations are recorded and which are closed at the end of poll after following due procedure.
