KEY POINTS
· Allowing circular migrants to cast their vote remotely will not only secure their democratic right but also compel the democratic set-up to be more responsive to their needs.
· The freedom to access the vote has been an inalienable part of Article 19 (1) (a), which guarantees the freedom of expression.
· However, this freedom, for circular migrants has become restricted by the fact that this right can only be exercised through in-person voting, in the constituency that they are registered.
· While the EVMs currently have ballot units that list candidates only for a specific constituency, one with a ‘dynamic ballot’ unit will display the contestants of a voter’s home constituency.
· The ‘dynamic ballot’ EVM would be change from migrants getting disenfranchised by economic compulsions.
· The Election Commission of India had set up a technical advisory group to develop a remote voting framework.
· To address challenges of voter fraud/verification, integrating Aadhaar-based biometric authentication will be suitable alternative.
· Allowing remote voting for migrants would also allow them to consolidate as a voter-base and force home-state policymakers and local authorities to take note of their requirements.
