How can NRIs get ID Card to Vote During Elections?

It is not new that there are many non-residential Indians working in various countries across the world. Some are working for decades while few have just ventured out for study-cum-work option. In any case, there are many NRIs who…

2). Want to vote in India or possess an ID card to vote

3). Have a valid passport with an Indian address

4). Have a suitable authority to certify the place of residence in the foreign land

5). Have no criminal or offensive records

…And, these Indians can apply for their ID card to vote. If they apply correctly, they will not only get their voter ID card but also get their name listed in the electoral roll in the same constituency where the Indian address has been mentioned in the passport.

NRIs can cast their votes, get an electoral ID card, and get their name listed in the electoral roll as well by just accessing the CEO website

How do NRIs Apply for Voter ID?

Many Indians living abroad visit India and submit the relevant papers to the ERO of their constituency and apply for the voter ID card. However, visiting India all the way just for the election card may not be feasible to many.

But Can NRI Vote without Landing in India?

The NRI must be available in India to cast the vote. In fact, he or she must be present in the constituency and visit the polling booth to cast the vote. There is no possibility of voters to cast their votes in postal ballot.

Nevertheless, ID card is a valuable entity for NRI as they can show the card to buy apartments, open bank account in India, and much more. It is also a prestigious card which says that you are a valuable citizen of India – even though you may be working or living abroad. For any issues and concerns, you can always refer this card. That’s the reason why NRIs apply for the voter ID card and update their names in the voter list.

So, if you are living abroad for quite some time, don’t worry about losing touch with India as the ID card will help you be in contact with your native land.
