New Delhi: The Supreme Court today sought clarity on the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) after elections, following a petition requesting that data from the machines not be erased even after the counting process is completed.
A bench led by Chief Justice of India Sanjeev Khanna directed that, for now, no data should be deleted from EVMs, nor should any new data be reloaded.
