India is a democracy which means that the Indian citizens have the right to cast their vote and elect their representatives. But, the citizens above the age of 18-years are only eligible to cast their vote at an election. This is how our constitution is written.
To cast the vote an Indian citizen should possess a voters’ ID as a mandatory requirement. In other words, a voters’ ID is a document that grants an Indian citizen the right to vote.
