EVMs now have timers to record your vote-India-The Times of India

EVMs now have timers to record your vote-India-The Times of India:

CHENNAI: They don't just record your votes anymore. In the 2009 Lok Sabha elections, electronic
voting machines (EVMs) will also keep track of the time of your vote.

The clock is built into the control unit of an EVM, says Amol Newaskar, general manager, Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL), Bangalore, which is one of the two public sector companies authorized by the Election Commission to manufacture EVMs.

The clock records the time at which voting begins and also gives the hourly voting percentage without giving details about how many votes a candidate has polled.
