Australian envoy to India Harinder Sidhu full of praise for EC, EVMs

“I'm really impressed with the electronic voting machines (EVMs). We don't have those in Australia. I think even with paper ballots which we have in Australia, it's always a case where there's a risk to integrity in any system. VVPAT is actually a good development,” said Sidhu.
