The Elections Department on Monday moved the EVMs from the headquarters in Reddiyarpalayam to the strong rooms in Motilal Nehru Government Polytechnic and Women’s Polytechnic in Lawspet.
According to sources, the EVMs of 10 Assembly segments in Puducherry were moved with police escort to the strong room. The EVMs of another 11 Assembly segments would be shifted on Tuesday while the commissioning of symbols in the EVMs would be done on Wednesday.
The Elections Department had randomised the machines — an exercise that determines which machine has to be taken to which Assembly segment. The machines will remain in the strong rooms for a few days before the machines are randomised and sent to the polling booths.
