RSP to Use Electronic Voting Machines in First National Convention to Speed Up Election Process

Kathmandu. The Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) has decided to use electronic voting machines (EVMs) for its first national convention to speed up the election process and make it more technology-friendly, according to party General Secretary Kavindra Burlakoti.

Speaking at a secretariat meeting on Thursday, Burlakoti said the use of EVMs is expected to reduce the time required for voting and counting significantly. “Reports show that the voting and counting process, which usually takes two days, can be completed within 6 to 7 hours using electronic voting machines,” he said, adding that although the system may appear costly, it would be more efficient and economical in terms of overall convention management.
