Country’s new Chief Election Commissioner Om Prakash Rawat has said that he supports linking of Aadhaar with voter identity cards, according to a report by The Economic Times.
Speaking about the reforms being initiated by the poll authority, Rawat said that he supports linking Aadhaar to voters’ identity cards as it would establish the identity before a voter enters the booth and accesses an Electronic Voting Machine (EVM).
“The identification will be foolproof then,” Rawat told the newspaper.
“I, however, don’t want any change in EVMs to integrate this feature. The EVM must remain a standalone machine with no connection to any other device or to the Internet,” he added.
