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.
