Mysuru: A large number of independent candidates contesting the May 12 Assembly election has forced the Election Commission to use more than one Electronic Voting Machine (EVM) in booths. The Commission has to use double EVMs as they cannot deny a candidate his democratic right to contest and his/ her name, photograph and poll symbol has to be included in the EVMs.
This time, double EVMs have to be used in Krishnaraja Constituency where there are 19 candidates in the fray and Varuna Constituency where there are 23 candidates in the fray.
