that a person –
(a) has failed to lodge an account of election expenses within the time and in the
manner required by or under the Act, and
(b) has no good reason or justification for the failure,
the Election Commission shall, by order published in the official Gazette,

more than one returned candidate at the election and the dates of their election are

(Returning Officer in the case of a constituency in a Union Territory) an account of
his election expenses which shall be a true account of the account kept by him or his
agent under Section 77).
Removal or reduction of period of disqualification
The Election Commission may, for reasons to be recorded, remove any
disqualification except under Section 8 A or reduce the period of such
disqualification.
D) Electronic Voting Machines (EVM)
The Election Commission of India has provided nearly 150 thousand Electronic
Machines to this State. All elections including General and Bye elections, held after
the year 2000 are conducted with help of the EVMs. The most important advantage of
EVM is that printing of millions of ballot papers could be dispensed with, as only one
ballot paper is required for fixing on the Balloting Unit at each polling station instead
of one ballot paper for each individual elector. This has resulted in huge savings by
way of cost of paper, printing, transportation, storage and distribution.
Secondly, counting has become very quick and easy and the result can be
declared within 3 hours as compared to 30-340 hours, on an average, under the
conventional system.
Thirdly, there are no invalid votes under the system of voting under EVMs.
The importance of this can be better appreciated, if one knows that in many
constituencies, the number of invalid votes is more than the winning margin between
the winning candidate and the second candidate. To this extent, the choice of the
electorate is more correctly reflected due to use of EVMs.
29
EVMs can record a maximum of 3840 votes. As normally the total number of
electors in a polling station will not exceed 1500, the capacity of EVMs is more than
sufficient. EVMs are designed to accommodate up to 16 candidates as there are 16
buttons on the Balloting Unit of the EVM. In case of more than 16 candidates in a
Constituency, two or more Balloting Units can be attached with one Control Unit of
the EVM.
The people in Maharashtra have accepted the EVM very well and the
percentage of poll has increased after the introduction of EVMs, which are found to be
user friendly and hassle free.
