Prime Minister Imran Khan has directed to expedite efforts for embedding the latest security feature into the proposed electronic voting machine “keeping the experience of developed countries into consideration”.
The directive comes after Federal Minister for Science and Technology Fawad Chaudhry on Wednesday gave a detailed briefing to the premier on the electronic voting machine, voting procedures and its various features in Islamabad.
The machine will ensure a transparent and impartial voting process, secure and immediate results of the electoral process, Fawad said. “The solution of all the issues raised in the past electoral process has been ensured during the making of the electronic voting machine.”
A practical demonstration of the electoral process was also held during the briefing.
The balloting machine was prepared with the joint efforts of the Science and Technology Ministry, COMSATS and the National Institute of Electronics (NIE), which has been “tested with encouraging results”.
PM Imran expressed satisfaction over the working of the sample machine and lauded the efforts of the ministry.
“The government is committed to introduce electronic voting machine to ensure transparency in elections,” he added.
