Explanation:
cVIGIL is a mobile application launched by Election Commission in 2018, which citizens can use to confidentially report violation of Model Code of Conduct. With this technological innovation, there will be no need for the citizen to rush to the office of Returning
Officer to file MCC violation complaints. Vigilant citizens can also track their complaint and receive follow up updates. MCC is observed voluntarily by contesting candidates and registered parties. Hence, statement 1 is incorrect.
Election Commission mooted the idea of EVM in 1977 to overcome problems associated with the use of ballot system. Taking advantage of EVM technology, voters can cast their votes rapidly and without any ambiguity in results. It also reduces the time of vote counting and chances of booth capturing. Since 2004, elections are done entirely on EVMs. EVM’s software is burnt into a One Time Programmable chip to prevent any tampering and it cannot be connected to any external network device through wires or wirelessly. So it cannot be manipulated. Hence, statement 2 is incorrect.
Electronically Transmitted Postal Ballot System (ETPBS) is an electronic voting system developed by Election Commission with the help of Centre for Development of Advanced Computing, for the use of service voters in the army, paramedical staff and other Central and state services, posted outside their constituency. It is not available for the general public. Hence, statement 3 is incorrect.
