The Election Commission of India will announce the schedule for an electronic voting machine (EVM) challenge on Saturday.
The Commission will also organise a live EVM demo before making the announcement. At the event, those having raised questions on EVM security would be invited to demonstrate how EVMs can be tampered with.
Political parties would be invited to demonstrate that the EVMs used in the recent assembly elections were tampered with.
About a week ago, the ECI held a meeting with representatives of 42 political parties on the issue of electoral reforms, including EVM security.
The Commission gave a detailed presentation on the security features of EVMs to assert that they could not be tampered with given the administrative measures adopted to secure them.
