ELECTION COMMISSION OF INDIA

ORDER

New Delhi, the 28th January, 2015

O.N. 8(E).—1. Whereas, Section 61 of the Representation of the People Act, 1951 provides that

with a view to preventing impersonation of electors, so as to make the right of genuine electors to vote

under Section 62 of that Act more effective, provisions may be made by rules under that Act for use of

Electors Photo Identity Card for electors as the means of establishing their identity at the time of polling;

and

2. Whereas, Rule 28 of the Registration of Electors Rules, 1960, empowers the Election Commission to

direct, with a view to preventing impersonation of electors and facilitating their identification at the time of

poll, the issue of Electors Photo Identity Card to electors bearing their photographs at State cost; and

Whereas, Rules 49H(3) and 49K(2)(b) of the Conduct of Elections Rules, 1961, stipulate that where

the electors of a constituency have been supplied with Electors Photo Identity Card under the said

provisions of Rule 28 of the Registration of Electors Rules, 1960, the electors shall produce their Electors

¹Hkkx IIµ[k.M 3 (iii)º

Hkkjr dk jkti=k % vlk/kj.k

Photo Identity Card at the polling station and failure or refusal on their part to produce those Electors Photo

Identity Card may result in the denial of permission to vote; and

4. Whereas, a combined and harmonious reading of the aforesaid provisions of the said Act and the Rules,

makes it clear that although the right to vote arises by the existence of the name in the electoral roll, it is

also dependent upon the use of the Electors Photo Identity Card, where provided by the Election

Commission at State cost, as the means of establishing their identity at the time of polling and that both are

to be used together; and

5. Whereas, the Election Commission made an Order on the 28^th August, 1993, directing the issue of

Electors Photo Identity Card (EPIC) to all electors, according to a time bound programme; and

6. Whereas, Electors Photo Identity Card have been issued to substantially high percentage of electors in

the States of West Bengal, Arunachal Pradesh, Goa, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh;

7. Whereas, in addition the Commission has directed that ‘Authenticated Photo Voters Slip’ shall be

distributed to the electors before the date of poll for the current bye-elections;

8. Now, therefore, after taking into account all relevant factors and the legal and factual position, the

Election Commission hereby directs that for bye elections to the House of the People of

14-Bangaon (SC) Parliamentary Constituency of West Bengal and States Legislative Assemblies of

27-Liromoba (ST) Assembly Constituency of Arunachal Pradesh, 11-Panaji Assembly Constituency

of Goa, 139-Srirangam Assembly Constituency of Tamil Nadu, 88-Krishnaganj (SC) Assembly

Constituency of West Bengal, 91-Mukhed Assembly Constituency of Maharashtra and 167-Triupati

Assembly Constituency of Andhra Pradesh, which have been notified on 19-01-2015, all electors who

have been issued EPIC shall produce the EPIC for their identification at the polling station before casting

their votes. Those electors who are not able to produce the EPIC shall produce one of the following

alternative photo identity documents for establishing their identity:-

(i)

Passport;

(ii)

Driving License;

(iii)

Service Identity Cards with photograph issued to employees by Central/State Govt.

PSUs/Public Limited Companies;

(iv)

Passbooks with photograph issued by Bank/Post Office;

(v)

PAN Card;

(vi)

Aadhar Card;

(vii) Smart Card issued by RGI under NPR;

(viii) MNREGA Job Card;

(ix)

Health Insurance Smart Card issued under the scheme of Ministry of Labour;

(x)

Pension document with photograph,

(xi)

Authenticated Photo Voter Slip issued by the election machinery; and

(xii) Official identity cards issued to MPs/MLAs/MLCs

9. In the case of EPIC, clerical errors, spelling mistakes, etc. should be ignored provided the identity of the

elector can be established by the EPIC. If an elector produces an Electors Photo Identity Card, which has

been issued by the Electoral Registration Officer of another Assembly Constituency, such EPICs shall also be

accepted for identification provided the name of that elector finds place in the electoral roll pertaining to the

polling station where the elector has turned up for voting. If it is not possible to establish the identity of the

elector on account of mismatch of photograph, etc. the elector shall have to produce one of the alternative

photo documents mentioned in para 8 above.

10. Notwithstanding anything in Para 8 above, overseas electors who are registered in the electoral rolls

under section 20A of the Representation of the People Act, 1950, based on the particulars in their

Passport, shall be identified on the basis of their original passport only (and no other identity document) in

the polling station.
