The Election Commission has said its challenge has two parts on the first part it has to prove that the EVMs used in the five states that just voted including Uttar Pradesh and Punjab were organised to favour a particular candidate Part Two of the challenge calls for participants to prove that the machines used in the assembly polls were manipulated just before or on the day of election when voting took place The participant will be considered "failed" if the EVM stops working.
