ELECTION COMMISSION OF INDIA

Nirvachan Sadan,

Ashoka Road,

New Delhi-110001.

Dated: 9th March, 2024.

Order

No. 3/4/ID/2024/SDR/VOL.I

1. Whereas, Section 61 of the Representation of

the People Act, 1951 provides that with a view to

preventing personation 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 personation of

electors and facilitating their identification at the

time of poll, 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

Elector Photo Identity Card at the polling station and

failure or refusal on their part to produce those

Elector 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 Elector

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 approximate 100% electors in the

country, and

7. Now, therefore, after taking into account all

relevant factors and the legal and factual position,

the Election Commission hereby directs that for the

current General Election to the Lok Sabha and

Legislative Assemblies of Andhra Pradesh,

Arunachal Pradesh, Odisha & Sikkim, 2024 and

Bye-elections to 26 Assembly Constituencies in

13 States (as per Annexure-I) to be notified on

20-03-2024, 28-03-2024, 12-04-2024, 18-04-2024,

identity of the elector can be established by the

EPIC. If an elector produces an EPIC which has

been issued by the Electoral Registration Officer of

another Assembly Constituency, such EPIC shall

also be accepted for identification provided that

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

roll under Section 20A of the Representation of the

People Act, 1950, based on the particulars in their

Indian Passport, shall be identified on the basis of

their original passport only (and no other identity

document) at the polling station.
