Union law minister Kiren Rijiju told Parliament on Friday that the government is considering linking Aadhaar with electoral rolls to check fraudulent voting, as he pushed for "one nation, one electoral roll". He also said the government is considering granting online voting facility to Indians working overseas.

Responding to a raft of questions in Lok Sabha, Rijiju said linking Aadhaar and electoral rolls is a way to weed out names that occur more than once from the voting lists. To a query on voting rights for "pravasi Indians", he said the EC is seized of a suggestion from the government for voting facility for those who work abroad. But he added "safety and transparency" would have to be ensured.
