The Maharashtra Congress is preparing to launch a signature campaign across the state to oppose the use of electronic voting machines (EVMs) in elections. The party is advocating for a return to the traditional paper ballot system.

Party leaders have raised concerns about the transparency and reliability of EVMs, suggesting that reverting to paper ballots would restore confidence in the electoral process. The campaign aims to gather widespread public support for this demand.

Congress leaders are expected to address rallies and events as part of the campaign, emphasising the importance of voter trust in a democratic system.


Further details on the campaign timeline and strategy are anticipated in the coming days.
