"4. Mandatory Verification of VVPAT Slips:
a) The Purpose of mandatory counting and matching result of VVPATs and CUs from 5 randomly selected polling stations is to audit and test if any EVM records votes differently vis-à-vis the slip printed by the corresponding VVPAT attached to it. However, there are multiple scenarios owing to human error or non-

adhrence to the extant instructions by the polling staff during actual polls in which the total VVPAT slip count may vary from the CU count. A few illustrative scenarios are cases where VVPAT slips are not fully removed from VVPAT after mock poll or CRC not done in CU after mock poll or other such cases of human error.

e) A though analysis/enquiry shall be conducted in due course in all cases where the VVPAT slip count failed to tally with the electronic result of the CU and the exact reasons, technological procedural, systematic, human error or lapses in compliance shall be ascertained and appropriate action(s) take by the Commission.
