Chaudhry Fawad Hussain said that EVMs are being used in 20 Countries of the world.

In his remarks, Dr. Babar Awan said that the EVM will provide a remedy to the cancer of rigging allegations in elections in the Country.

Dr. Babar Awan said that there are five proposed EVM Models; three are being manufactured in Pakistan while two others have been imported. He said that the ECP will finalize the Model of the machine.

The adviser said that under the directions of Prime Minister Imran Khan, the ECP has been empowered to use EVMs in elections and give the right of vote to the Overseas Pakistanis.

The use of the Electronic Voting Machine was also demonstrated before the representatives of the Parliamentary Reporters Association on the occasion.
