Shri Shah said that the government led by Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi is going to make such a system that as soon as a person turns 18, the Election Commission will take information from him and make his voter card. Similarly, in case of death of someone, its information will be sent to the Election Commission from the Census Registrar and then, his name will be removed from the voter list as per process.
