New Delhi: Union Law Minister Kiren Rijiju informed Parliament on Friday that the government is mulling to link Aadhaar with voter card to prevent bogus voting. He also stressed on "One Nation, One Voter List". He also said that the government is considering to provide online voting facility to Indians working abroad. Replying to a series of questions in the Lok Sabha, Rijiju said linking of Aadhaar and voter card is a way to remove names that appear more than once from the electoral rolls.

When asked about voting rights for overseas Indians, he said that the Election Commission has received a suggestion from the government to facilitate voting for those working abroad. He also said that security and transparency have to be ensured for this. Replying to a supplementary question by BJP's Ajay Nishad, Kiren Rijiju said that there is an idea to bring only one voter list for all the states and union territories to prevent bogus voting in the entire country.

He said that we have spoken to the Election Commission in this regard. Recently, a provision has been made to link the voter list with Aadhaar. It is not mandatory, it is voluntary. However, this has the potential to stop bogus voting. Will take necessary steps for electoral reforms in future also. One nation, one voter list, such is the thinking of the government. There should be a clean voting system in the country.
