Detailed Solution

"The candidate with more than half the total number of votes is declared the winner" is incorrect.
The candidate with more than half the total number of votes cannot be declared the winner. The counting of votes is a lengthy process. After the voters have polled the votes, all the EVMs are sealed and taken to a secure place. Then, on a fixed date, all the EVMs are opened, and the votes secured by each candidate are counted. Agents of all the candidates are allowed to be present at the counting booth to ensure the procedures are followed. Finally, the candidate with the most votes is declared the winner.
