The Bill permits discretionary enlistment officials to request Aadhaar quantities of candidates needing to enlist as electors to build up the character of the candidate. Law Minister Kiren Rijiju, in any case, explained that connecting of Aadhar to Electoral Photo Identity Card is intentional. It additionally tries to permit the officials to request the number from “people previously remembered for the constituent roll for the reasons for validation of passages in electing roll, and to distinguish enrollment of name of a similar individual in the discretionary roll of more than one voting public or at least a couple of times in a similar supporters”.

Through the bill, the public authority is altering both The Representation of the People Acts of 1950 and 1951.

At this point, just the people who turned 18 at the very latest January 1 of consistently are permitted to enroll as citizens. One more revision permits the decisions to become sexually unbiased for administration electors. At present, an Armyman’s better half is qualified for be selected as an assistance citizen, yet a lady Army official’s significant other isn’t.
