Postal Votes mean State Employees and Army Personnel- indeed a cross section of our society though not a perfect cross section. All service votes went to the ruling party BJP in spite of the opposition parties having the greatest number of government servants in their organizations made the people of India distrust the election processes. Anyway, more and more people have begun to distrust the electronic voting machines after the 2019 Parliament Elections in India and the demand for bringing back Ballot Papers is gaining strength.

BJP which had been steadily loosing polls in the state assembly elections throughout the country in 2018 securing 350 seats in the 2019 parliament elections made people suspicious of voting machines more than ever. In the coming years the campaign for Bringing Back Ballot Papers is only going to strengthen in India as it is already strengthening throughout the world. Many advanced countries- far advanced than India- are abandoning electronic voting machines for fear of massive manipulations and rigging and replacing them with Ballot Papers as earlier.

Governments want electronic voting machines to remain and people want them to go. We know why. Do not believe in people who shout machines are infallible and cannot be manipulated. They are those people who do not reveal personal details in social media like Face Book, Twitter and Linked In, fearing machines and systems would manipulate and misuse them!
