Title should have been - NRIs need to be in India to cast their vote 🤦♂️
Your comment helped me save 4 mins of my time. Genuinely thank you
Mine too 😂
🎉🎉😊😊 yes me too
I think Election Commission of India should make an arrangement of voting in consultes, Embassies and High Commissions like the France do to its citizens in Pondicherry
traitors of bharat these doctors scientists computer men should not be allowed to vote if they abandoning bharat to live in west! Jai Hind!!
Good suggestion
Probably requires an infrastructure-upgrade, to avoid manipulations. No clue.
Number of such Indian citizens and French citizens?
Even Türkiye citizens also voting on abroad mbc..
NRIs should be able to vote from the resident country may be by visiting embassy or online because a large population works abroad and invest in India
traitors of bharat these doctors scientists computer men should not be allowed to vote if they abandoning bharat to live in west! Jai Hind!!
What's the point of this exercise, when I am required to be physically present in India on election day in my constituency.
Really ? I've to be present in person ? Yeah this is pointless. Wasted time
Than do you want people from outside India to vote in India I don't even if they are citizens if they can't even come to India to vote than no they don't need to vote
traitors of bharat these doctors scientists computer men should not be allowed to vote if they abandoning bharat to live in west! Jai Hind!!
@@ind-rishiyt1600😂😂
Well, see what the title says. It’s misleading at best.
Lazy to go to restaurant?
Order food online. But no home delivery, just go and pick it up from the restaurant. 😂
And no matter what you had ordered, it’s the same old crap that’s we got to digest 😠
😂😂 this example is still better, at least you can order prior and keep it ready to pickup. What this video states is one of the worst click bait ever.
If you have to cast vote by being physically present then I don't get the difference? Since they are also citizen of India and will be physically present at their constituency then it is just like any other Indian citizen casting their vote, right?
Except the fact that they don’t reside in India so separate documents are needed
If successfully tested online voting is allowed, than
1.. NRI's can vote outside the country
2.. people like us can vote from our laptop
3..a person having a voting booth in state X but is staying in state Y for study or occupation etc can vote. How many people will take leaves to go to their state to vote? Here is where the internet comes in.
Really ? I've to be present in person ? Yeah this is pointless. Wasted time
traitors of bharat these doctors scientists computer men should not be allowed to vote if they abandoning bharat to live in west! Jai Hind!!
Not Residing In India 😢, how to vote 🗳️
First come to India 🇮🇳 😂
Lots of India's given up their citizenships and settled in foreign countries these days 😂😂 so forget about voting
this is a misleading news clip. One line says people who do not live in their native country can cast their vote and the next line says you have to be physically present. Please don't fool the viewers. I am sure there is a better title for the video. Respect the journalism standard!!!
Request to make arrangements by next elections to get NRI 's to do online voting from the respective countries where they stay. Who would be stupid enough to travel to and fro by costly plane to vote in this world of internet?
Some people like me do haha😂 , as it's once in 5 yrs ( I go only for general elections) we plan ahead and this time the prices luckily have been decent during my states time
@@chanakyabharat756 these are general elections of Loksabha, once in 5 years. Each vote matters a lot. If you are mature, you may realise this.
@@samirbhalerao5579 what am I missing in my response, I'm traveling to India to vote what else do I need to do to take them seriously 😳
@@chanakyabharat756 that is highly appreciated. But tell government to make arrangements to vote online in a secured way in next elections.
@@samirbhalerao5579 let's all voice that through emails to embassy locations.
I was ready to go and vote in India . I tried registering on ECI website and uploaded passport giving address details. But no response from website after 2 weeks :(
Please make the arrangements do we can vote in indian embassy.
Does the flight tickets can be claimed in IT returns?
Height of comedy. If I can present why I am called separately as NRI. Govt should bring a postal ballot kinds of methods to make this more seamless. Not every NRI has flexible enough to travel just for voting. Govt should seriously think about it now as the diaspora is too high than ever before across the globe.
As an NRI, this is a good approach.
In 2020, the ECI wrote to the Law Ministry that it was “technically and administratively ready” to facilitate ETPBS for NRIs in the 2021 Assembly elections in five States but the External Affairs Ministry flagged “huge logistical challenges” relating to identity verification of voters, absence of polling agents, the burden on embassy staff etc
The problem is also address proof for many of us settled abroad. If you are NRI, not all have holiday homes as address proof and people who have lost their parents and hence not have family property are always in a fix to get the address proof. It’s logical to remove that address proof requirement for voting. Hope this is done soon. Jai Hind
voter service portal does not even open, inaccessible from foreign countries
"Oh, absolutely fantastic. I just spent a whole 5 minutes of my life I'll never get back watching a video that promised me the moon but barely delivered a light bulb. How about we put a little more honesty in those titles, yeah? Wouldn't want to accidentally provide some value, now would we?"
First clarify the title. This is for NRI's who happened to be in India during the time of election. This would be fairly very small percentage. I would estimate that it caters to may be 5% of NRI's.
True solution is for NRI's to be able to vote wherever they are. I followed the direct news from supreme court and govt websites. That is in last stage of implementation but unfortunately all party consensus could not be reached on how to implement it. Congress, Communist and others were the main roadblocks to implement digital voting at embassy. Sending voting machines to all embassies are not logistically possible. Because imagine the nri could be of any constituency of the 540 odd seats.
My best solution would be:
- Digital voting with Aadhar biometric, passport, local ID validated at the nearest embassy.
Why can’t we go and vote in Indian Embassy ?
These sites and forms are not available in countries abroad 😢😢😢
As far as I know, NRIs are non-Indian citizens of Indian origin.
An Indian citizen, residing outside India is an Indian, with full rights just like any citizen living in India.
Iam an NRI in Nepal.
😂
😂😂😂
🫡
😂😂
Since when we considered nepal as a seperate country 😂😂
can overseas workers working out of INDIA, use their vote or can tey vote online in the LP elections 2024
None of the website links are working from the US.
neither here from eu
Use VPN and choose location as India. Worked for us.
Neither from UAE
Whats the deadline to submit the application?
I have US address on my passport, got it renewed here only. What about me? If GOI really wants NRIs to be part of this election make arrangements in foreign countries or online.
Misleading title with unnecessary information 😞
It will be great if OCI card holders also get to take part in elections
@@b.r.8528 There are heaps of countries who allow dual citizenship. Once people like you argued how can poor do digital trabsactions and its impossible! Such an irony, hope you had a good meltdown. Are you really an Indian Citizen? Show your name first...
@@agodha11 LOL are you for real? So what if heaps of countries allow dual citizenship? That doesn't automatically mean India should allow for dual citizenship. There are also many countries which don't allow dual citizenship. And what does dual citizenship have to do with digital transactions and the poor? You made a conscious decision to give up Indian citizenship and take up citizenship of another country and the rules were very clear when you relinquished your Indian citizenship, but you want to criticize the Indian Government now? The OCI allows you so many benefits such as buying land and entering the country without a passport, so be a little grateful for everything your nation is doing for you even though your sorry ass decided to run away to another country.
@@agodha11 Brother, if you want to argue and debate my point, you are welcome to do so. However, there should be some logic to your arguments. Agree there are many countries that grant dual citizenship but if you want to argue that India should grant dual citizenship, that will most likely come with the expectation to pay income taxes in India apart from other obligations. Are you OCI holders ready to fulfill all these obligations? You have to ask yourself.
The connection between OCI being given the right to vote and poor doing digital transactions in India is an absolutely invalid and baseless argument, but please enlighten me if I am wrong.
OCI issued to you is like the permanent residency granted by so many countries, and if you compare with the largest democracies on their practices for permanent residents, you will see none of them issue voting rights. USA green card holders cannot vote, Singapore PRs cannot vote, Canadian PRs cannot vote and the list goes on. Given this is a global standard of not allowing permanent residents to vote, why do you expect India to give voting rights to OCI holders, especially when so many newly minted OCI holders hardly ever visit the country and know very little about Indian politics and national issues of importance? OCI holders have clearly made the conscious decision that a foreign citizenship is better than the benefits and privileges they can get being an Indian citizen, so when you have made the decision to sever ties with your motherland, why is there an expectation that my motherland should keep bestowing you with rights and privileges meant for her children, kind sir?
I am a proud Indian citizen sir, and showing you my name is my choice and is not related to this argument.
@@b.r.8528 so what is your logic here? please conclude sir....
First time voters ❤
They should set up a polling booth in embassy in every country and ask the citizens to show the voter ID and than allow to do the vote under the supervision of a election commission officer. Fully under the surveillance of cctv except inside the booth box than many people will come to excercise the vote.
Many Indians living within the country are not able to vote because they live outside their constituency for purpose of work .
Election commission should take this matter seriously and allow remote voting so that one living in any part of India is able to vote by going to his nearest booth.
Portugal has 4 seats in the parliament which are filled by overseas Portuguese. We could do the same. Modiji would then have rallies in New Jersey and Dallas
That's utter nonsense after so much paperwork, you have to be present in person. Sad to see that "digital India" can't manage this.
All india citizens shiuld exercise their right to vote inthe most important Ekectionif their lives!
YEs; imp especially when peacefuls are silently forming a coterie
traitors of bharat these doctors scientists computer men should not be allowed to vote if they abandoning bharat to live in west! Jai Hind!!
Why not we can just go the local embassy and vote?
traitors of bharat these doctors scientists computer men should not be allowed to vote if they abandoning bharat to live in west! Jai Hind!!
Every eligible citizen participates and votes in every election times it can strengthen DEMOCRACY every election time. Ultimately unified & shows solidarity in countries strength against every other system. Voting in election itself shows how countries democracy functions & citizens have trust in process & all registered party's leaders .voteing in election it's a beauty's of any democratic system .without voting process democracy system never functional.
This video should be posted on April 1st...
This is a basic problem here! I am sure many NRI like myself may not have their address of residence on their passport as an Indian address.
Well it doesn't make any difference, does it?
You're saying a France national living in Pondicherry gets to vote for France presidential election, but Indian living abroad can't vote for their PM election??
Online voting is not feasible, but can't they allow physical voting from the high Commission/consulate in the foreign countries. Or at the least a mail ballot? Come on we're the largest diaspora in the world....
So for an NRI to cast their vote, they should buy a flight ticket, travel hours if not days to cast the vote. Simply put indian living abroad cannot vote. Why is no one talking about this?? Indians are biggest diaspora, how is this democratic??
P.S. plus the website is either down, slow or simply non-accessible. @Naerndra Modi @Firstpost @Hindustan Times @India Today @WION @TRS Clips @MEAIndia @Ministry of External Affairs, India @PGurus @ANI News. Folks kindly #nrivote on all SM, share or DIY MO to spread the word. Thanks and kind regards to all.
You really think democracy still exists in India after suppression of opposition, controlling of media and all other government institutions ?
The website isn't accessible at all, Always server is down
If you are accessing the server from abroad, try using a VPN. I had the same issue. In the VPN, choose location as India. It should work. Worked for me. Submitted the application 6A online
@@CakeorDeath420 thank you, But
not letting people outside India access the website defeats the purpose of letting Indians abroad to register on website
@@SanaatanSatyaHai I agree. Not sure about the reason other than security. But even then its silly if I can just use a VPN to get around it.
@@CakeorDeath420 Which website did you submit the application on? I download form from voters.eci.gov.in/ . But don't know where to upload docs and the application.
Online portal is not working in Qatar
Govt have blacklisted the website
Sorry, this video felt like a click bait.
NRI who are not citizen and is in India can anyway vote.
JUST TO MAKE IT CLEAR: NRIS ONLY CAN REGISTER THROUGH 6A. BUT, THEY HAVE TO ATTEND PHYSICALLY ON ELECTION DAY IN INDIA
i am not able to access Form 6A application
When is the election?
19 th April to June 2024
I haven’t voted yet so this time is first time
after doing all these steps - i have to go to India to cast the vote. Really???? 🤡🤡🤡
Title should be, how NRI can apply for Electoral Voter ID card. Instead How NRI can vote.
I guess Dhruv Rathee can vote this election!
😂
What if you do not have Indian address in passport? I have a European address?
Can oci card holders vote ?
no
This is still not helpful. If I can visit India during election then why I will follow this many steps? I have my Voter ID, simply I will cast my vote.
They should arrange voting in Consulates & Embassies around the world.
That form 6A never works. I think it’s blocked behind a region firewall, when it detects a non India IP address. Clownish!
they can vote with their right hand , index finger
Super
Basically they don’t want NRI s to vote 😂😂😂
Awesome, now I'm gonna vote
What is the point ?! The very definition is 'Non Resident'. Why would they be back in India on election days ? Why doesnt Mr Chandrachud and his Supreme Court goons who waste their time on every trivial matter think about ways to include the overseas Non resident Indian diaspora in the most basic national excercise - casting their vote !. We would happily take a day off and travel to the nearest embassy to cast our votes.
I don't understand if they (NRI) don't live in India so why they could cast a vote and when they don't know the issue of people living in India and people living here
Nice
विदेशी एन आर आई को मत देने का अधिकार बंद हो भारत की संप्रभुता,अखंडता,सुरक्षा को लेचर ख़तरनाक है मेरा पक्का मानना है जय श्री राम
What is the conclusion!!
No provision for NRI's to Vote remotely?
& One has to be present physically on the election date ?
Please use the correct MAP of INDIA in video 0:01 to 0:04 ( Pok and aksai chin) is an Indian territory
What about seafarers, there are over 1.9M seafarers working around the world. They can not be physically present in any country.
Nam raichur bage nu helli sir
The whole process is stupid & complicated.. They should make arrangements for online voting using passport
It's not actually. You think demanding arrangements is a valid ask? It took us 20 mins to fill the form and upload online. A US visa application is a million times more rigourous, but we all stand in the queue, fetch million photocopies and get through it, don't we? But when it comes to India, we expect "arrangements".
Can nri contest elections?
Wrong title ..
when they will be allowed to vote remotely from their country of stay then it will be good. is Indian government financing out plane tickets
Absurdity to the core and shame on giving misleading information
Such a difficult process
Ek form fill karna hai. Took me 20 mins to upload the information and docs.
By 2029 Mr modi will be 78,but question is even at the age of 78 if he is fit and deliver he should continue then.
😂😂😂
2029-2034 will be his last term after that he will choose his successor
If Joe Biden is, Modi is 100 times fit.
Not good I don’t have Indian passport
Good luck getting NRIs to vote with such roundabout ways
So much big process
Can OCI vote on India Elections?
Moment you say, you need to be in India, then there is no need for all this process. it’s simple. Just go to the polling booth and cast your vote. I don’t understand why you uploaded this video.
Matlab hum India sirf vote dene aaye🫡
Access denied stop misleading people 👍🏼
lol India has become like Bangladesh only one party 😂😂😂 no need to waste money on elections
No meaning in this video for those residing abroad.
We don't allow NRI to vote indias general election😊😊😊
what a waste of time this video is
This news clip has no value. If they really wanted NRIs to vote they would’ve allowed the NRIs to mail their vote to the nearest Indian consulate/embassy. NRIs mostly working in the western nation can’t go to India due to their Children school.
You must physically present in country so what is the purpose of this video (wasting our time).😂
Haiti mega prisons and hsrs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Haiti megaprisons and hsrs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nah can’t vote in USA can’t vote in India 😅
Yuan shao yuan shu cao cao!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is the dumbest thing I have seen today
TRP
No point at all
It's another scam
👎
Such a stupid video. Post a video when we can vote from the country of residence 😅
Although Everyone has right to vote but why hy to choose your leader if you are not living in the country.
Because we are sending our hard earned money to India and contributing to india's growth. We have our families and relatives in India, so who comes in power affects everyone.😊
Bjp❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
So we can’t vote 😂…because most of the nri will be in foreign country. Thank you useless video
They know NRIs wont go back to vote. Majority of them are educated, and hence anti-BJP, so let's cross 10 million of votes that goes to opposition! Smart move
