An entire set of EVMs was replaced after complaints surfaced of the set of EVMs showing differing numbers of votes cast during mock polling. The issue was brought to notice by AAP spokesperson in Goa, Elvis Gomes, who called the EVM malfunction a robbery.
Gomez said that the mock poll had 9 votes for each of the 6 candidates in booth number 31 of the 34th Assembly seat in the state – the BJP got 17, Congress got nine, AAP got eight and independent candidates got one.
