The correct answer is option 3. In News The HINDU: Assam Chief Minister said nearly 1.2 lakh people had been identified as ‘D’ (dubious or doubtful) voters. Key Points 'D' voters: They are a category of individuals in Assam whose citizenship is in question due to insufficient documentation. Hence, option 1 is correct. The 'D' voter category was introduced in 1997 during a voter list revision by the Election Commission of India in response to significant immigration from Bangladesh. Hence, option 2 is correct. While 'D' voters remain on Assam’s electoral roll, they cannot vote in an election unless their case is decided by a Foreigners' Tribunal. Hence, option 3 is incorrect. Those categorized as 'D' voters cannot hold a voter I-card until their citizenship status is resolved by the Foreigners' Tribunal. Hence, option 4 is correct.
