Electronic voting machines (EVMs) were introduced in India in the late 1990s as an alternative to paper ballots. EVMs make it easier for voters to see candidates and cast their vote, and some include voice support for visually impaired voters. However, physically challenged people have complained that touchscreens are not always accurate. While EVMs reduce counting time, some trust the traditional paper ballot more because high technology is vulnerable to hacking. Paper ballots do not risk elections being hacked but require manual counting and do not allow for automation. They also make it difficult for physically challenged voters to cast private votes without assistance.
