New Delhi: Law Minister Kiren Rijiju will introduce Bill’s election law (Amendments), 2021, at Lok Sabha on Monday.
The bill to change the representation of the People’s Law sought to bring the main reform including voluntary relationships from voter IDs with Aadhaar so as to get rid of Bogus and duplicate entries in the selection roll.
This problem is listed in the legislative business from the house down for Monday.
The bill also determined that this amendment would not put any voters as “no application for the inclusion of names on the selection roll must be rejected and no entries in the selection roll must be removed for individual inability to complement or intimate aadhaar numbers because of the considerable cause Can be prescribed “.
Such people will be allowed to provide other alternative documents as prescribed, according to the bill.
Amendments will also provide new voter registration at four qualifying dates that are valid for 1 January every year.
At present, anyone is 18 years old on or before January 1 will be eligible to be registered as a voter.
Anyone born after January 1 must be registered only after one year.
According to the bill, along with January 1, there will be three other qualification dates – April 1, July 1 and October 1 – in every calendar year.
The proposed amendment also allows elections to become a neutral gender for service voters.
The amendment will help replace the word ‘wife’ with the word ‘partner’ creating a “gender neutral” law.
At present, an army army wife has the right to be registered as a service voter, but the husband of a female officer is not.
With ‘wife’ being replaced by the term ‘partner’, this will change.
