Vote from home

'Work from home' seems to be the latest buzz word in corporate circles. People who spend most of their working hours in front of a computer are given the option to work from home. I was thinking if 'Vote from home' is possible. The elections are nearing and we read reports of voter list being inconsistent or incomplete. Why do I need to register in a voter list to vote? If I can prove that I'm a citizen of this country and I've not already voted in the same election, I should be allowed to cast my vote. And why should I travel only to the polling booth which carries my name in its voter list? For instance, If I've relocated to Surat from Kolkata just before the elections, do they expect me to chase the babus and get my name included in the Surat voter list? Or travel to back to Kolkata to cast my vote? And blame the educated middle class for not voting in large numbers. Are technologies like smart voter card or online voting far fetched for a country which already uses Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs)? This will ensure people can vote from their place of comfort.
