"Under fire from political parties and NGOs over the credibility of electronic voting machines, the Election Commission on Friday will allow its critics to demonstrate that the EVMs can be tampered with.

The Commission will meet political; leaders and technical experts who claim they have developed software that can manipulate EVMs.

But the Commission is still cagey with information on the EVMs, refusing to answer many details asked for in an RTI application.
