Election Laws (Amendment) Bill introduced in LS
Dec-20-2021

Today, Union Minister Kiren Rijiju has introduced the Election Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2021 in Lok Sabha (LS). The bill seeks to allow electoral registration officers to seek the Aadhaar number of people who want to register as voters ‘for the purpose of establishing the identity’.

While, Opposition members opposed its introduction of the bill, saying it will infringe the fundamental rights of citizens. They also alleged that the bill will violate the Supreme Court judgement on Aadhaar. Rajendra Agarwal, who was in the chair, accepted the introduction of the bill after taking voice votes.
