Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

To determine which statements about Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) and their voting rights are correct, let's examine each statement:

1. Non-resident Indians (NRIs) can now cast votes in their home constituencies in India. This statement is correct. NRIs are allowed to vote in Indian elections, but they must be physically present in their home constituencies to do so.
2. The NRI can cast his vote by postal balloting. This statement is incorrect. As of the latest updates, NRIs do not have the facility to cast their vote through postal balloting. They must be physically present at the polling station in their constituency to vote.

Based on the analysis above, the correct answer is: 1 only.
