NO VOTING RIGHTS TO INDIANS LIVING ABROAD


LOK SABHA

Owing to practical and administrative difficulties the proposal for grant of voting rights to non-resident Indians (that is those who are not ordinarily resident in India) has not been found feasible.

This information was given by the Union Minister of Law and Justice, Shri K. Jana Krishnamurthi in a written reply to a question from Shri V.M. Sudheeran in the Lok Sabha today.
