Does EVM ( Electronic Voting Machine ) get bugs or Failure during the work?
At First! Let me tell you how Electronics Voting Machine works? And What are the parts it's consists of and Woking etc.

Electronic Voting Machine (also known as EVM) is voting using electronic means to either aid or take care of the chores of casting and counting votes and displaying casted votes by voter.
An EVM is designed with three units: the control unit , VVPAT and the balloting unit. These units are joined together by a cable and it's is happening in presence of an EVM Engineer.
Control Unit is an electronic machine which is used to allow a ballot to Ballot Unit and also Storing data of Ballot unit that uses to counting of votes.
Ballot Unit is used to collect a command from voters. It's consists of candidates name sheets and button to be press for voting.
VVPAT ( Voter Verified Paper Audit Trail ) is a displaying unit of EVM. It's uses for displying which candidates the voter opted by Ballot Unit.
Now, As ex EVM Engineer experienced that there many bugs find in EVM as
Control Unit has issue with the switches and also has bug with storage and power issue. CU has also bugs with power pack ( cell used inside). Candidates Set is being a issue if VVPAT has not been attached while commissioning.
VVPAT has many sensor issues:
a) light sensor error, b) proximite sensor error, c) horizontal sensor error, d) printing error, e) paper roller error, f) switching on/off error, g) locking lach broken error etc. If light is directly upward to to VVPAT then it get failure during actual poll. And if a presiding officer switching on or off the EVM then each time its cut 7 papers everytime.
Ballot Unit has also a bug like Button is not as per the requirement due to regular uses of same Ballot Unit. It has a issue when connected more than one Ballot Unit in a system of EVM. It goes to factory mode after carrying one place to others.
But it is very clear that EVM cannot be hacks because there is no any external unit or internet is not even connected. If any one tell you it's happening you may send this blog links that shows all bugs and failure of EVM but it never discribed that EVM will be hacks at any of the stages.
