The Government of India was exploring the possibility of allowing online voting for non-resident Indians (NRIs) as well as considering linking Aadhaar with the electoral rolls to check fraudulent voting, Law Minister Kiren Rijiju said in the Lok Sabha on Friday.
Mr. Rijiju also told the House that no questions should be raised about the electronic voting machines (EVMs) and asserted that India’s election system was recognised as “one of the best” in the world.
During the Question Hour, the Minister was responding to a supplementary question posed by Congress member from Kerala K Muraleedharan about Pravasi Indians or NRIs being given voting rights.
