India has improved in leaps & bounds with the introduction of electronic voting machines and a clean and effective Electoral Commission. One step further, to eliminate some of the lacunae witnessed during the recent Karnataka elections where the voter lists were incomplete or erratic, would be to have the entire electoral lists of internet sites (with adequate security of course) and allow citizens to vote through the net. It can be done, if the will is there. Now, almost all financial transactions, that carry far more risk to the involved parties, happen over the net - stocks, banks etc., so why not voting via the net....??? I think it will be more speedy, accurate and convenient. And the lazy upper & middle classes will have no excuses to avoid voting.... What say Mr. Nilekani??
