Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

To be eligible to vote in Indian elections, Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) must satisfy specific criteria. First, they must be Indian citizens; if an NRI acquires the citizenship of another country, they lose their eligibility to vote in India [t1][t5]. This invalidates statement 2. Second, eligible NRIs must register as 'overseas electors' by submitting Form 6-A to the Electoral Registration Officer (ERO) of the constituency corresponding to the address in their Indian passport [t2]. This confirms statement 3. Finally, current regulations require NRIs to be physically present at their designated polling station in India to cast their vote, as there is currently no provision for online or remote voting from abroad [t5]. This confirms statement 1. Therefore, statements 1 and 3 are correct, making option 2 the right choice.
