Individuals that turn 18 after January 1 need to await an whole year to enroll as a voter.
“Our proposal was at least four dates should be provided in a year in order that you doesn’t need to await an whole calendar year,” Chandra told PTI.
He stated having multiple cut or qualifying dates”would be the very first thing I’d like should happen quickly.” The first election commissioner explained as a consequence of owning one cut-off date, even if someone is turning 18 years on January 2, they cannot be enrolled as a voter annually.
Thus, someone who’s turning 18 past January 1 might need to await another year to become enrolled as a voter.

He stated the officials consented to reevaluate this specific reform.
