On one hand Opposition parties in India demand a rollback to paper ballots after doubts surfaced about the authenticity of Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) and malfunctioning of Voter Verifiable Paper Trail (VVPAT) machines, but on other hand Namibia has started negotiating with Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL) to place bulk orders for VVPAT-enabled EVMs. The Electoral Commission of Namibia is in talks with BEL, one of the two public sector units (PSUs) which manufacture EVMs, to supply VVPATs for their national and presidential elections scheduled to be held in November 2019.
