Recently Honourable law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad gave some good news that a bill for proxy voting was recently passed in the Lok Sabha ,now with the passing of this bill all N.R.Is residing all over the world would be able to cast their votes by e- voting without coming to India and it is also made very clear by the Election Commission that casting e- vote or proxy voting do not require any physical presence.
Through my blog I may wish to draw your attention towards the Govt Employees Semi Govt employees from Banks ,Teachers ,Para Military Staff along with State and Central Excise Departments ,Railways and other State or Semi Govt and Central Government departments including Police Home Guards who are deployed from all over India to provide security and guarding at polling booths for conducting of free and fair polls.
If they are also now permitted to vote by e-voting or by proxy their actual votes count roughly comes to about 3 to 4 crores which would become a game changer to the political futures and fortunes of many politicians,of Indian Republic.I feel that the voting by e- votes and proxy may also be extended to all of those Defence Personnels deployed at Siachin glaciers, at the Airports or deployed for advanced Training courses, further it is added that in my opinion those living without a roof can also be permitted to cast their votes then only we can make a correct assessment about the popularity of the Govt elected by the year 2019 .
I think our present Govt may think about these issues immediately.
