They issue each registered citizen voter information and ballots ahead of the election, and assign an in-person polling place in their town/neighborhood which keeps copies of everyone's ID information in case they don't have it. So everyone has multiple options for voting and ballot drop-off, and every person's ballot is counted only once. It might seem unfamiliar in places with uncoordinated election agencies, multiple ID systems, or other gaps in knowledge about who actually lives where and is entitled to vote. But in the US, that information is very well-known to all parts of the government. For better or worse. The downside is that it can be very hard to get ID replaced if lost or expired (which makes it hard to do everyday things). The paperwork, bureaucracy and expense means not everyone has access to identification.

Getting ballots by mail sounds superb. In India we use EVMs, so you have to be present at your booth to vote. There’s also an ongoing debate about EVM security, and some groups are calling for more transparency and reforms at the Election Commission. Where India does well is cost and enrollment getting on the voter list is nearly free and well coordinated. In other areas, it fails miserable and there’s still a lot of room for improvement. not to mention the timely deletion of Muslim votes to favor the in power BJP government
EVM > EVM's 🙃 We could all learn from each other and make our voting systems awesome worldwide.. But somehow the people we "voted in" sure don't like the idea of improving elections 🤔
for sure they arent interested in improving the living conditioN AND improving election process might bring accountability why take the risk. may be thaTS WHY😌
Thankfully, we have not been marginalised like other less priviledged muslim communities unlike them we have a great financial, Political and Local community backing which we have nurtured over the years.
