President Dr. ArifAlvi has said that remember ‘our’ long struggle for Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs). He saidthat EVM had paper ballots that could be counted separately by hand (like it is being done today), but it also had a simple electronic calculator/counter of each vote button pressed.
In a statement issued on twitter on Saturday, President Dr. ArifAlvi said that totals of every candidate would have been available and printed within five minutes of closing of poll. The entire effort that included more than 50 meetings at the Presidency alone was scuttled.
He said that had EVMs been there today, my dear beloved Pakistan would have been spared this crisis.
