Status:Ongoing, volunteers needed
Summary:Even though the Non Resident Indians(NRI’s) holding the Indian Passport are allowed to exercise their vote by their physical presence in India, very few NRIs can cast their vote and cannot make themselves available in India every time to participate in the election.

Many times, the names are removed from the list by the authorities with the assumption that the NRI’s are not available in India for voting. We strongly feel that the dual citizenship holders should also exercise their vote because of their contributions for development of India and unfortunately this provision is not there due to the present rules.

We have taken the opinion of several NRI’s and everyone felt that they have a right to exercise the vote for India. You are requested to join the stream along with your NRI friends, colleagues and relatives by signing the petition to President of India.

Recent Development : We conducted a brain storming session with the participation of NRI’s, Political Leaders, Legal Advisors and several other individuals recently. The group concluded that proxy voting for NRI’s is the best method to adopt caste their vote from where ever they are living currently. Let us work on this further to achieve our NRI voting rights.
