BBC NEWS | World | South Asia | First stage of India polling ends
by k at 11:42 am EDT, Apr 20, 2004

] Tens of millions of Indians have voted in phase one of
] the country's first all-electronic election.
]
]
] Every vote in the world's largest democracy is being
] recorded at the press of a button.

[ This will definitely be something to watch. I want technical information about how these machines work... this page lacks such.

these look decidedly low tech compared to the US systems. No touch screens and it appears only one race per device, which could be problematic in the US, where multiple offices are voted upon in the same day.
