New Delhi, Apr 8 (UNI): The Supreme Court on Monday increased the number of EVMs for physical VVPAT counting from one constituency to five for legislative constituencies, after hearing a petition filed by 21 opposition parties seeking to equate the EVM counting with VVPAT.

A bench of the apex court, headed by Chief Justice of India (CJI) Ranjan Gogoi, increased the number of EVMs for physical VVPAT counting from one constituency to five for legislative constituencies.

Twenty one opposition parties had knocked the doors of the Apex Court seeking to equate EVM counts with VVPAT. 

The Lok Sabha elections will begin on Apr 11 and end on May 19.

The counting of votes will take place on May 19.
