Also, there was confusion among voters about the VVPAT.<br /><br />For instance, a voter at polling booth 213 in Basavanagudi’s ITI Layout was seen asking the polling officer for the slip and the official had to explain the process. <br /><br />Bangalore South was among the chosen seven constituencies across the country, where the VVPAT was introduced on an experimental basis. Under the system, the VVPAT machine will generate a paper slip, displaying to voters, for seven seconds the name and symbol of the candidate they had chosen, after which the slip will automatically drop into a sealed box. </p>
