India: Description of the Electronic Voting Machines (EVM)
The Carter Center: Developing a Methodology for Observing Electronic Voting (2007)	On Nov. 2, 2006, The Carter Center hosted the first activity of this initiative—a small workshop of representatives of election observation organizations and e-voting experts aimed at fostering collaborative discussion and the development of a draft methodology for observing electronic voting. This meeting, called “Developing a Draft Methodology for Observing Electronic Voting Technologies,” built on the results of a previous workshop hosted by the Center in 2005 on the challenges posed by electronic voting technologies. Shortly after the November 2006 meeting, The Carter Center deployed a specialized technical mission to Venezuela to observe the use of electronic voting in its Dec. 3, 2006, presidential election and to conduct a preliminary field test of the methodology. Following the Venezuela mission, Carter Center staff and consultants worked to update and revise the methodology. The Center plans to test the draft methodology in at least two additional pilot missions. This short document, with the attached revised draft observation forms, summarizes the discussions of the November 2006 meeting, the methodological findings of the technical mission to Venezuela, and subsequent efforts by Carter Center staff to revise the draft methodology for observing electronic voting.

The ODIHR will use the guidelines to assist states in building sustainable, accurate and transparent voter registration systems through the modernisation of population registration system in line with international standards and OSCE commitments on freedom of movement.
