Highlights 1 Modi government on Friday said they will soon be given proxy voting rights. If the proposal passes political muster in Parliament, NRIs will be able to exercise their voting rights through proxy. But the Union Cabinet's approval for proxy voting by NRIs carries a caveat - they cannot nominate one proxy for all polls. Enabling remote voting rights in a such a large scale would be the first of its kind in the world. The move to grant proxy voting rights to overseas electors is significant against the backdrop of BJP's claims of enjoying high goodwill among NRIs.
