Comprehensive Consultations With Stakeholders Must: Law Minister On Electoral Reforms

His remarks came against the backdrop of a fresh push by the poll panel for electoral reforms, including the use of remote voting technology to allow migrant voters to exercise their franchise without going to their home states.

Law Minister Kiren Rijiju today said comprehensive consultations with stakeholders, including political parties, are essential for implementing electoral reforms.

His remarks came against the backdrop of a fresh push by the poll panel for electoral reforms, including the use of remote voting technology to allow migrant voters to exercise their franchise without going to their home states.

Earlier this month, the Election Commission had held consultations with recognised political parties on this matter.

Referring to various proposals on electoral reforms moved by the EC, he said consultations and discussions are "symbols" of a vibrant democracy.
