New Delhi: Before the announcement of assembly elections dates in three states of the country, demand for ballot paper voting has started once again. However, every time, the Election Commission has rejected this demand of political parties. On Thursday, the country's Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Sunil Arora has said that the ballot paper is now a matter of history.

On this, Congress leader Mim Afzal has said, "I don't think ballot paper has made voting history." Even today, body elections are conducted by ballot paper. In the countries where ballot paper became history, it has started again. Question marks on EVMs are excessive. If this continues, it will be very difficult to get justice. ''
