ELECTION COMMISSION OF INDIA

Nirvachan Sadan,

Ashoka Road,

New Delhi - 110001.

Dated: 9th May, 2019.

Order

No. 3/4/ID/2019/SDR/VOL.I

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

Suggestions are welcomed on e-mail: [email protected]

123

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

3. 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 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 28th 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 a substantially large number of

electors in the States of Goa, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka,

Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal; and

relevant factors and the legal and factual position,

the Election Commission hereby directs that for

current bye-elections from 11-Panaji Assembly

Constituency in the State of Goa, 116-Sulur,

134-Aravakurichi, 195-Thiruparankundram &

217-Ottapidaram (SC) Assembly Constituencies in

the State of Tamil Nadu, 42-Chincholi (SC) and

70-Kundgol Assembly Constituencies in the State

of Karnataka, 89-Agra Assembly Constituency in

State of Uttar Pradesh and 23-Darjeeling,

29-Islampur, 68-Kandi, 74-Nowda, 43-Habibpur (ST)

& 105-Bhatpara Assembly Constituencies in the

State of West Bengal which have been notified on

22-4-2019, 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)

Smart card issued by RGI under NPR;

(vii)

MNREGA Job card;

(viii)

Health Insurance Smart Card issued under

the scheme of Ministry of Labour;

(ix)

Pension document with photograph;

(x)

Official Identity cards issued to MPs/MLAs/

/MLCs, and

(xi)

Aadhaar card.

8. 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 7

above.

9. Notwithstanding anything in para 7 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.

By Order,

K. F. Wilfred,

Sr. Principal Secretary.
