Into The Fold
Roaming Rights
At last, nowhere people get voter ID cards
- The 40 'denotified & nomadic tribes' of Gujarat haven't been able to cast vote so far, for they weren't on electoral rolls
- This was because they could provide neither addresses nor birth certificates
- An NGO surveyed the settlements of 15 such tribes and the chief electoral officer issued notices to get them registered as voters. A letter from the NGO is taken as proof of residence.
- These tribes can vote in Election '09
