The Election Commission took a call on National Register of Citizens (NRC) and said that the registered voters left out of NRC will have the right to vote.

The voters left out of NRC will have the right to vote until and unless their case is pending at Foreigners Tribunal.

According to the Election Commission, D (Doubtful) Voter will remain on Assam's electoral roll unless their case is decided by a Foreigners' Tribunal.

The NRC authorities published a final list of the National Register of Citizens on August 31 on its website that includes the citizenship status of every individual in Assam. 19 lakh people have been left out of the final list.

Those who failed to make it to the final NRC list have been given 120 days to appeal against their exclusion at the Foreigners Tribunals. If not satisfied with the verdict of the tribunals, they will have the option to move the High Court and the Supreme Court for redress.

The administration has set up 100 Foreigners Tribunals in Assam and the state government will set up another 200 Foreigners Tribunals in the coming weeks.
