    All fully loaded and tampered EVMs will be installed as there is no govt to oppose or oversee the electoral preparations. It doesn't matter if anyone votes or no as the winner is already known so no need for NRC too here. It's either EVMs or NRC if both are used then 100% votes to BJP so it may look very suspicious. This is just hog wash election to fool rest of India and world that abrogation of article is largely accepted and no grevience by Kashmiris.
