Explanation
★Correct matching: fake registration of voters with photo identity cards, delay in counting of votes with electronic voting machines, violence during elections with voting in phases, and excessive contestants with raising the security deposit.
★Photo identity cards, introduced in 1993, help verify a voter's identity and reduce fraudulent registration.
★Electronic voting machines, used widely from the late 1990s, speed up counting and reduce booth capturing.
★Voting in phases reduces incidents of violence during elections in a large country like India.
★Raising the security deposit of candidates reduces the number of frivolous or non-serious contestants.
★These measures are part of the electoral reforms undertaken to strengthen the electoral process.
★For NET, match each electoral problem with the reform designed to address it.
