The character of a democratic system of governance is to act according to popular consensus or public will
and elections are a way for citizens to express their will. In a democracy, citizens express their views on basic
questions such as who to choose as representatives and what kind of laws and policies to create, so the right to
vote is interdependently linked to the freedom of thought and expression.
(Chapter No. 2)
Obstructing the constitutional rights of the citizens who are entitled to participate in the elections and vote in any
case cannot be considered according to the law.
(Chapter No. 4)
The fact that the Constitution of Nepal provides citizens with the right to vote in the same level of
elections as a constitutional right should not be underestimated from any point of view. Under the right to vote
given by the constitution, "the right to the opportunity to vote" is also inherent. If the constitution provides the
right to vote but the state does not create the opportunity to vote, then the right provided by the constitution will
be meaningless and pointless. In the case where the constitution provides equal opportunity to every citizen to
participate in voting, that opportunity will be provided to the citizens in the country, but not providing that
opportunity to the citizens who are outside the country during foreign employment would be contrary to the right
of equality.
(Chapter No. 5)
The state will benefit from the contribution made to the economy by the remittances of the citizens
outside the country, but depriving those citizens of the right to vote because they are outside the country
does not seem to be appropriate even from the point of view of justice.
