Overseas Indians can exercise franchise in an election to the Lok Sabha under which of the following conditions? I. They must be citizens of India II. Their names must figure in the electoral roll. III. They must be present in India to vote. Select the correct answer using the code given below.

Overseas Indians, specifically Non-Resident Indians (NRIs), are eligible to vote in Lok Sabha elections under specific conditions established by the Representation of the People (Amendment) Act, 2010 [4]. First, they must be citizens of India and must not have acquired the citizenship of any other country [5]. Second, their names must be registered in the electoral roll of the constituency corresponding to the Indian address listed in their passport [5]. Third, under current regulations, an overseas elector must be physically present in India to cast their vote at the designated polling station [3]. While proposals for proxy or electronic voting have been discussed, the existing legal framework requires in-person voting [3]. Therefore, all three conditions—citizenship, registration in the electoral roll, and physical presence—are mandatory for exercising their franchise.
