SEEKING YOUR VIEWS, RIGHT TO VOTE FOR NRIs: The Represen-
tation of the People (Amendment) Bill 2006, introduced on
Feb 27, 2006, has been introduced with a limited purpose to

official ad: "The Government feels that conferring such (a)
right will enable them to participate in the democratic
process of elections in their motherland and will also
boost their involvement in nation building." Indian
citizens living abroad due to employment, aeduation or
other reason, will be able to get their names registered in
the electoral rolls of their constituency of ordinary
residence in India, had they been in India. They *may* also
be able to contest elections. A committee has been set up
under E.M.Sudarsana Natchiappan, MP to examine the issue
and report on it. Those interested in submitting memoranda
