The diagnostic check of electronic voting machines (EVMs) used in the 2024 Maharashtra Assembly elections for the Chandivli constituency began on April 13, 2023, following a Bombay High Court order. This rare court-mandated scrutiny was initiated by Naseem Khan, a Congress leader who contested the election results after losing to Dilip Lande of the Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena. Khan's petition raised concerns about the functioning of EVMs and sought verification of the results. The inspection, which started at 9:30 AM, is limited to a diagnostic check that involves examining the burnt memory or microcontroller of the machines. Khan stated that this is a significant step towards transparency, as such access to EVMs post-elections is rarely granted. The findings of this diagnostic check are expected to be closely monitored, potentially impacting future demands for EVM scrutiny and electoral transparency.
