India's poll body rejects reports of malfunctioning electronic voting machines

India's poll body has dismissed reports that some electronic voting machines being used in the country's election process are prone to malfunctioning.
 

This comes after reports suggested that during a mock poll drill in the southern state of Kerala, electronic voting machines erroneously recorded votes in favour of Prime Minister Modi's ruling Bharatiya Janata Party.

Voting in the two-month long election began on Friday, with Modi widely expected to win when results are announced in June.
