ELECTION COMMISSION OF INDIA

Nirvachan Sadan, Ashoka Road, New Delhi 110 001

dated the 10th November 2020

Order

No. 3/4/ID//2020/SDR (Council-MH).—Whereas, the Election Commission has been following

the policy of compulsory identification of electors by means of specified identification documents

at elections to the House of the People and Legislative Assemblies from the year 2000 onwards,

so as to prevent impersonation at elections thereby making the right of genuine electors to vote

under section 62 of the Representation of the People Act, 1951 more effective; and

Whereas, keeping in view the provisions of Rules 35(3) and 37(2)(b) of the Conduct of

Elections Rules, 1961, the Commission has been issuing directions that the electors at election to

House of the people and Legislative Assemblies shall produce their Electors Photo Identity Card

or other specified documents at the polling station and failure or refusal on their part to produce

those Electors Photo Identity Card or documents may result in the denial of supply of a ballot

paper to them and permission to vote; and

Whereas, the said provisions regarding identification of electors and safeguards against

impersonation are equally applicable at elections from Graduates’ and Teachers’ Constituencies,

and as the electors in these constituencies are also electors in assembly constituencies, they

would have been supplied with Electors Photo Identity Card as electors in their respective

Assembly Constituencies;
