Advantages of EVMs
The introduction of EVM resulted in substantial cost reduction, which eliminated the need for production and printing of ballot papers. These machines save nearly 10,000 tonnes of ballot paper (200,000 trees) in every national election. A substantial reduction in expenditure comes when it comes to transport, storage, and counting staff. The main progress to the voting calculation process is to make results in 2 to 3 hours against 30-40 hours in the ballot paper system.
A large number of EVMs have received substantial assistance in the country where the voter struggles to vote in the electoral ballot system. EVMs in the movie, all they need to do is press the button against the candidate of their choice and enter their vote. These machines also reduced the possibility of bogus voting.

Criticism of EVMs
Although the Election Commission has conducted the EVMs as one of the most depressing voting machines in the world, the security flaws in these machines have been brought back and forth. Many security analysts have rejected EVMs 'fraud.' The 'criticism' by the commission rejected the argument, the challenge of the machine was challenged by many. Promoting EVMs encouraged American scientists to develop a technique to hack into these machines. The BJP leader Subramanian Swamy later called for an investigation into the safety and security of EVMs.
Voter verifiable paper audit trails (VVPATs) The Election Commission has allocated Rs 3,174 crore to buy 16.15 lakh electoral certificates in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls. During this time, the 2017 Assembly elections will be debated on EVMs (electronic voting machines).

Background
EVMs were first used in Kerala Assembly elections in 1982, but it was the first time in the 1992 Lok Sabha elections. EVMS voting system simplified. This has led to a serious decline in electoral fraud, including rigging and stuffing of ballot boxes. VVPATS is used in certain constituencies to verify EVMs with a paper trail. Election Commission vs SubrahmanyaSwamy, 2013, Supreme Court VVPAT is directed to the EC to introduce "Free and Fair Election Mandatory" and phase-wise VVPAT.

Advantages
The VVPAT machine additionally allows EVM results to be cross-checked by a paper audit, completing another layer of independent manufacturers. It serves as an additional barrier to change or destroy votes.

NOTA (none of the above)
NOTA is an option in the list of candidates in an electronic voting machine (EVM). If a voter is not satisfied with candidates nominated by political parties in an election, their dissatisfaction can be entered through the NOTA. This is a negative voting form. NOTA is an expression of the secret right. It is also part of Article -19 (Freedom of Expression and Speech). This is not a right but a right to refuse.

Background
In 2001, Secretary to the Election Commission of India addressed a letter to the Ministry of Law and Justice to correct the serious shortcomings for the right to refuse the right to refuse. However, no action was taken. People's Union for Civil Liberties. Significance It helps to maintain the secret of valid votes. Negative voting encourages people who are not satisfied with any of the candidates who have expressed their request and turned up to reject all contestants. This will help prevent voucher voting in the name of voters who have voted to record their protest. The nominal number of nota votes that emphasize political parties to nominate candidates. Conclusion: Indian electoral system facing this problem before the electoral management system. After ICT, the ECI will have full electoral management. When information technology is not in the electoral system, such rigging and counterfeit voting problems arise. In the electoral system ICT is coming into the largest democratic system of EVM machines introduced by many changes. The electoral system is likely to go to every polling station.The NOTA recognizes the correct principle of rejecting India's first term as a revolution in the Indian electoral system and the PUCL of the Supreme Court of India has supported the PUCL. This "no judgment" in the 2014 elections and the choice of several state elections held since passing this verdict. Without IT, Developed countries are free and fair elections cannot be imagined.
