Hyderabad: The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation has completed the first randomisation of Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) and were sent to the returning officers.
The corporation would conduct the second phase of randomisation prior to the election after the end of the nomination date to enhance the transparency.
