Non-Resident Indian (NRI) individuals are barred from participating in online voting for the 2019 General Elections.
The claim that Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) can vote online in the 2019 elections has been circulating on social media platforms. However, several facts point to the contrary.
Firstly, the Election Commission of India (ECI) has issued a circular regarding NRIs voting online for the 2019 elections. The authenticity of this circular is currently being analysed. However, it is important to note that the circular mentions that NRIs can vote online for the 2019 elections.
Secondly, the ECI's website carries a disclaimer warning about fake news regarding NRIs voting online for the 2019 elections. The disclaimer clarifies that there is no online voting facility for any category of voter.
Thirdly, the authenticity of the claim about NRIs voting online for the 2019 elections has been debunked. The archived version of the post about NRIs voting online can be found, and the claims made in the post are false.
Lastly, the ECI spokesperson Sheyphali Sharan confirmed through tweets that NRIs are not entitled to vote online in the 2019 elections. Despite the lack of information about the name of the spokesperson in the available search results, her confirmation adds weight to the fact that there is no online voting facility for NRIs in the 2019 elections.
In conclusion, while the circular about NRIs voting online is being circulated on social media platforms, the claims made in the post are false. The ECI has clarified that there is no online voting facility for NRIs in the 2019 elections. Therefore, voters are advised to verify any election-related information before sharing it on social media platforms.
