Detailed Solution

EVMs were first used in India in 2004.
EVMs were first used in a general election (statewide) to the Goa legislature in 1999. All by-elections and state elections were held using EVMs in 2003, and the election commission was encouraged to utilise just EVMs for the Lok Sabha elections in 2004. In India, electronic voting is the conventional method of holding elections using Electronic Voting Machines, sometimes known as "EVMs." India used paper ballots and hand counting long before the advent of electronic voting.
