Made in India Electronic Voting Machines in demand.

Bhutan got them for its elections last year and Nepal has acquired them too. Indian-made Electronic Voting Machines (EVM) are making  waves abroad, not just in our neighborhood but right up to the African continent. 

The new EVMs don't just record your ballot, but also the exact time when you cast it. It also gives hourly polling updates. Therefore if someone says that his or her vote was being tampered with, the time when they cast their vote can be found out. The machine is priced around Rs.9,800, inclusive of taxes
