After the voting was done, the EVMs were taken to a private engineering college campus in ChilkaPalem near Srikakulam city. Officials sealed all the EVMs after checking them, and they were kept in secure rooms with three levels of security.
This was done to ensure that the EVMs were safe and not tampered with before the results were announced. The EVMs are crucial in determining the outcome of the election, so it is important that they are kept secure.
The officials took necessary precautions to make sure that the EVMs were not accessed by anyone who could potentially tamper with them. This is a standard procedure followed after every election to maintain the integrity of the voting process.
