Were Voting Machines Introduced In India In 2009? A Fact Check

Were Voting Machines Introduced In India In 2009? A Fact Check

The EVM came in 2009 and was installed by the Congress government, claimed a social media user. A fact check has found it to be a false claim.

A viral post on social media has claimed that electronic voting machines (EVMs) were used for the first time in the country in 2009 under the Congress-led government.

Vishvas News in its investigation found this claim to be misleading. EVMs were used in all 543 Lok Sabha seats across the country in 2004 and before that they were used during several assembly elections. In 2001, EVMs were deployed in all seats during the Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Puducherry and West Bengal assembly elections. Furthermore, EVMs were introduced in a phased manner during the assembly elections of different states, commencing in 1998 with the elections for 16 assembly seats of Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Delhi.

Social media user 'rbsonu_sr', while sharing the viral post (archive link), wrote, "EVM came in 2009 and was installed by the Congress government, if EVMs were hacked then Congress would have done it first... and BJP would have done it. Never lets you come to power... Understand that EVMs are not hacked..!"
