Abstract: This paper is an attempt to structure the ongoing debate around electronic voting machines (EVMs) and election technology in Pakistan and ground the discourse in research, international best practices, and expert guidelines. EVMs have been used in different countries since the 1960s and have proved to be highly controversial. A concerning trend has emerged over the last two decades in those various developed countries, including Ireland, the Netherlands, and Germany, which have phased out or terminated their EVM deployment over concerns about voter privacy and election integrity. At the same time, the deployment of EVMs in developing countries, such as India, Brazil, Venezuela, and the Philippines, has yielded mixed results. There is, therefore, an urgent need to decipher this trend such that we may maximise the gains from these technologies and avoid mistakes made by other countries.
