Work on loading the list of candidates with their pictures and symbols on the ballot unit of the Electronic Voting Machines to be used in all the polling stations in Madurai parliamentary constituency began on Monday.
The loading was done in the presence of representatives of the candidates contesting in the constituency. With Voter-Verified Paper Audit Trail (VVPAT) going to be used in all the polling stations this time, the symbols and other requisite details were also loaded to the VVPAT machines to be connected to all EVMs.
Though the process began in the morning in the presence of representatives, the loading of details to VVPAT machines faced minor hiccups, because of which the process was delayed by few hours, officials said.
General Observer for Madurai parliamentary constituency Vinodkumar and Collector S. Natarajan inspected the process at the Collectorate.
