Kathua 15 February (HS). Live demonstrations of electronic voting machines were conducted in Basohli and Billawar as part of a systematic voter education and electoral participation campaign aimed at increasing awareness about civic responsibility and democratic processes among the public.

The concerned Electoral Registration Officer under the supervision of District Election Officer Kathua introduced the attendees to the working of the EVM machine by providing a step-by-step practical demonstration of all the three components, Control Unit, Ballot Unit and Voter Verifiable Paper Audit Trail Went.
