No, an OCI cardholder cannot vote in Indian elections. Also, they cannot take government jobs or hold positions in public office in India including membership in parliament, legislative assembly, or council. However, an OCI card provides several benefits such as serving as a lifelong visa for visiting India, parity with NRIs in inter-country adoption of Indian children, etc.

I have been living in India for 8 months i'm not allowed to participate in elections on any political things but enjoy elections and political rallies by only seeing them.
OCI card holders are not allowed to participate in any political party or organization because it is not allowed for an Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) card holder.
I think that by getting an OCI card I'm allowed to participate in different sectors of India, but I'm only allowed in the economic, financial, and educational sectors.
As I know citizens who have an Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) card are not allowed to participate in any political elections nor they can cast a vote.
