EVMs hi khawvel ram dang tam takah an lo hmang ve thin tawh a. Mahse a him tawk em, a dik tawk em, a rintlak em tih leh a finfiah theih em tih rinhlelhna a lo chhuak nasa ta mai a. Chuvang chuan Netherlands chuan kum 2006 khan EVMs hman hi an lo khap tawh a. Republic of Ireland leh Italy pawhin kum 2009 atang khan hman tlem tial tiala tih tawp an tum bawk. 2009 March thla khan Supreme Court of Germany chuan EVMs hmanga vote thlak chu Danpui (Constitution) kalh a ni - "transparency is a constitutional right but efficiency is not a constitutionally protected value" tiin judgement a lo siam tawh bawk.

ECI chuan EVMs chu 100% a rintlak a nih mai bakah tamper-proof a ni tiin a tang tlat thung. EVMs an manufacture lai hian ECI instructions kha nuai bo theih hauh lovin chips-ah bel bei tlat a ni a, tin, heng chips-te hi EVMs chhunga tih danglam theih hauh loh tura kharkhip (mother-sealed) thlap a ni tiin min an sawisel nuai nuai chung pawhin a tang tlat a ni.

A hmaa kan sawi tak ram dang EVMs hmangte kha chuan EVMs-ah hian safeguards - "paper-backup" emaw "paper trails" hmangin vote an thlak thina sawi a ni. Hemi awmzia chu voter khan ballota a candidate vote tur hming list a thlir thei ang a, chutah a key a hmeh khan EVMs khan chhiar theihin ATM ang chiah hian a rawn "print out" ang. Kha printout kha ballot box-ah Poll Officer-te venna hnuaiah a chhuah pahin a thlak mai a ni. Hetiang a nih chuan a hmaa point No. 5 leh 6 kha a phuhruk zan tawh dawn a ni. Complaint avanga vote chhiar nawn pawh lo ngai ta se awlsam takin an chhiar nawn/ thlir nawn thei dawn a ni.

Tichuan, ECI chuan an thil entir chu tih zawh hram an ngen chung pawhin ti zui lovin an tih tawp sak ta a.

EVMs hman a nih hnu hi chuan vote chhiar chu a awl phah khawp mai.
