Minister of State for Law P P Chaudhary said in a written reply in the Rajya Sabha that the poll panel has informed the government that "they have not procured any electronic voting machine during 2014-15, 2015-16 and 2016-17".
On an earlier occasion, the Commission had said that it would replace 9,30,430 EVMs purchased before 2006 as the older machines were nearing their 15-year life cycle, besides procuring five lakh more systems.
