Donald Trump referenced India's electoral system on August 17, 2026, to advocate for the SAVE America Act, which mandates photo identification for all voters in the United States.
Trump highlighted that India successfully manages elections for over 900 million voters by requiring valid photo IDs, contrasting this with current US practices.
The remarks have drawn sharp reactions from Indian political figures, including Congress leader Pawan Khera, who sarcastically suggested sending Indian election officials to assist the US.
