NEW DELHI / AGARTALA, May 21 (TIWN): Leaders of Opposition parties met Election Commission (EC) officials on Tuesday to urge the panel to spell out the mechanisms to address any mismatch between voter-verified paper audit trail (VVPAT) and electronic voting machine (EVM) tallies during the counting of votes on Thursday.

Representatives of the Congress, the Nationalist Congress Party, the Telugu Desam Party, the Bahujan Samaj Party, the Samajwadi Party, the Janata Dal(S) and the Left parties are in the delegation, said Opposition politicians who spoke on condition of anonymity.

The Commission will counter-check the VVPAT and EVM tallies in five randomly selected polling stations in an Assembly segment.
