- The Election Commission of India (ECI) has eased the paperwork for people who shifted from Kashmir to Jammu and Udhampur in the nineties to cast their votes.
- Migrant voters are essentially from the displaced Kashmiri Pandit community.
- They were previously required to fill the form to request the transfer of their vote from Kashmir to a polling station in Jammu, Udhampur or Delhi.
- The ECI also decided that self-attested certificates appended with Form-M will be acceptable from migrants living outside Jammu and Udhampur.
- It eliminated the need for attestation by a gazetted officer.
- The poll body has designated 22 special polling stations (21 in Jammu and 1 in Udhampur) for migrant voters in the two regions.
