To be eligible to vote in elections in India, NRIs (Non-Resident Indians) must fulfill the following conditions:

1. They do not need to be physically present in their place of origin to exercise their franchise. This means that NRIs can vote even if they are not present in India during the elections. Therefore, option 1 is incorrect.

2. NRIs, whether they have acquired citizenship of other countries or not, are eligible to vote. This means that NRIs can vote in Indian elections regardless of their citizenship status in other countries. Therefore, option 3 is incorrect.

3. Eligible NRIs have to register by filling up Form 6-A with the electoral registration office. This means that NRIs need to complete the registration process by submitting Form 6-A to the electoral registration office in order to be eligible to vote in Indian elections. Therefore, option 2 is correct.

Based on the conditions mentioned above, the correct answer is option 2: 1 and 3 only. Alert - correct answer should be 1, 2, and 3.
