US President Donald Trump urged Congress to pass the SAVE America Act, citing India’s voter ID requirements and calling for stricter citizenship and identification rules in US federal elections.

Trump noted that not even one per cent of voters in India used postal ballots in the recent general elections, and every voter had a valid photo identity document.

Trump has pointed to India's voter ID system as an example while renewing his push for the SAVE America Act. But India's election model is more nuanced than a simple voter-ID comparison suggests.

Trump’s post comes after CEC Gyanesh Kumar met US Ambassador to India Sergio Gor last week.
