New Delhi, 25/3: The Centre is considering granting online voting rights to Indians working abroad, Union Law Minister Kiren Rijiju said during the Question Hour in the Lok Sabha on Friday.
“I have already told the Election Commission that we will make provisions and give suggestions as to how we will allow our people staying outside the country to cast their votes,” Rijiju said while replying to a question on ‘Pravasi’ voting rights raised by Congress member K. Muraleedharan.
“But before making any declaration, we have to ensure the safety, transparency and protection from any malpractices or misuse,” Rijiju said.
