Parliament has approved voting rights for non-resident Indians (NRIs) in elections with the Lok Sabha adopting the Representation of the People (Amendment) Bill, 2010, However, the person will be able to exercise the franchise only if he or she is present in the constituency on the polling day. The new law will allow an Indian citizen residing abroad to enroll in voter’s list and exercise his franchise even if he or she remained away from place of residence in India for more than six months owing to employment, education or otherwise. Unfortunately there are only 3 Registered NRI Voters from Telangana and 7 from Seemandhra !!
