"31 countries used or studied EVMs. Only 4 use it nationwide, 11 use EVMs in some parts. Pilots are on in 5 nations. Three nations have discontinued it while 11, which ran pilots, decided against electronic voting."

This is how EVMs Win voter confidence - How we vote - The Economic Times

The 80,000 EVMs used in the May 12 Karnataka assembly elections all had a paper trail, the demand for which is growing. India’s among a handful of countries that use EVMs, which have faced criticism over fears of rigging. A look at how we vote... How we vote

Thanks for the link. It actually says that EVM (not online) are very difficult to tamper with. Good to hear. And the examples it gives from Europe are more then 12 years old. I'm sure technology has improved since then.

Voter lists need to be automated. If voter lists are coming from one central database, you can ensure each individual is only loaded into a specific EVM once. So there is actually a pre-requisite to clean up the voter lists before hand (regardless of EVM being used or not).

Which is why I assume they want NADRA to maintain the voter lists - one ID card = 1 vote.
I'm not sure how ECP currently validates the voter lists against NADRA database.

Well if the country with the highest number of voters can use it successfully thats a good endorsement.

Western countries also have postal ballots, which you can submit weeks before election day. Each countries requirements are different. We should take the best practices as per our needs.

It should be tied to their address on their driver license/is card. Though not completely fool proof it makes it harder to register at 4 different stations.

How many western countries use EVM nationwide?

Not many, but then how many western countries loosing parties make rigging allegations after every election?

western countries election environments are different to ours - they don’t need reforms but we do.

Not many countries also have big dakus like Zardari, Altaf, Nawaz, Shabaz, fazalu, Malik Riaz. Pakistan needs reforms and strong accountability enforcement. Or these Big dakus and there uneducated blind donkey followers will destroy Institutions and Pakistan. they need to be stopped by Voting machines, police, NAB, courts.
