Hello friends!
With utmost humility do I wish to underscore the need for each one of
us to exercise due diligence and care to ensure that the information
we share with each other is correct albeit I do grant that to err is
human.
I am saying this against the backdrop of two points made by a friend
in two of his mails in the current chain of correspondence on voting
experience.
In the first place, I wish to state that there is no provision of
online voting for NRIs as stated by a friend in one of his mails. Only
those Indians who are officers and/or employees of the Govt. of India
and who are posted outside the country, such as, in the embassies or
high Commissions can vote, not online as erroneously stated by him,
but through postal ballot. Non-resident Indians other than this set of
people can not vote even by postal ballot. Such people, if they wish
to exercise their franchise, must come to India. There is no other
choice. Besides, those working in the defense forces can cast their
votes through postal ballot if they are posted out of the constituency
where their name figures on the voters list.
Secondly, the first general elections were held not in 1951 but in
1951-52. To be more precise, the said general elections were held from
25th October, 1951 to 21 February, 1952.
Thanks
mantosh Kumar
