Description
Govind Kumar is from Bihar. He is working in Tamil Nadu for the last one year with many others from his State. If he had been at home, he would have probably enrolled his name in the voter list and cast his vote for the first time. However, since he is here, he does not have a voter ID card either here or in Bihar and is not casting his vote. There are thousands of other migrant workers from other states in Tamil Nadu who'll be missing elections again due to their livelihood concerns. “There is better awareness among workers and employees on the Right to Vote. But those working here from other States do not seem to be going home in larger numbers,” says R.R. Balasundharan, president of the Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Coimbatore.
