India's journey with Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) began in 1982 during an election in Kerala. However, this was a step ahead of the law, and the Supreme Court had to cancel the results! It took until 1989 for the law to catch up, paving the way for EVMs. Since 2000, every voter's choice in 4 Lok Sabha and 122 State Legislative Assembly elections has been captured by these machines, tallying up to more than 315 crore votes.
