to be scored off from voter list, indelible ink to be applied on his figure and then polling officer with B should made C active for casting one single vote with proper login id as at 8 above. Once the vote is casted some prominent color display should appear at the screen of B and should remain till next time poling officer energizes C for next vote. (This is something like polling by EVMs in general elections) The screen of B should be visible to all polling agents 12. The polled votes should be recorded polling station wise and has to be tallied with the attendance of that polling station. For small circles like Inspection Circle, ITPC, Regions, Projects etc the recording may be centralized to ensure secrecy of polling but there also total votes polled to be tallied with the result. This is not difficult as separate login ID should be there polling station wise and CGM wise. 13. The result should be declared circle wise with additional breakup of polling station wise with exception as mentioned at 10 above. 14. The software and the system should be such that double voting etc cannot happen. The system so developed has to be field trialed with mock polling etc for any possible bugs. The server should be capable of handling so many polling stations effectively without delay. ‘Hanging’ of the system has to be avoided and such incidents should cause suspicion. The identification (MAC) of each B & C PCs has to be recorded with server for avoiding wrong computers login in to the system. 15. In summary the system should be as below :  At the schedule time say 9-00 AM on polling day the server A should be made active and all terminal Bs & terminal Cs should be logged into the system by the polling officer.  Voting should commence as at 7 above and each time the polling officer should made C active with terminal B which should accept only one vote.  Voting should continue and the server A should accept only a predetermined no of votes from a particular pair of B & C terminals, against the particular login ID, which is according to the voter list of that station.  Voting should close at 17-00 hours when all B & C should be disabled for polling job and immediately counting should commence after receiving ‘All OK’ report from all B stations. This ‘All OK’ report should be sent by polling officers after obtaining written consent from respective polling agents.  Results declared.  Polling agents should observe the progress of polling from screens of B at polling stations and from A through a suitable machinery (web page etc). We would therefore request you to kindly consider for implementation the above views/suggestions to maintain secrecy and transparency in ensuing membership verification of majority executive Association.
