ELECTION COMMISSION OF INDIA

————

ORDER

Nirvachan Sadan, Ashoka Road, New Delhi-110001/Dated : 7^th October 2020

No. 3/4/ID/2020/SDR(Council)—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

2. 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

3. 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;

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

position, the Election Commission hereby directs that all electors at the current biennial election to

the Bihar Legislative Council from Patna Graduates’, Darbhanga Graduates’, Tirhut Graduates’,

Kosi Graduates’, patna Teachers’, Darbhanga Teachers’, Tirhut Teachers’ & Saran Teachers’

Constituencies, who have been issued with their EPICs, shall have to produce these cards to exercise

their franchise, when they come to the polling stations for voting at the current biennial election to

the Bihar Legislative Council from the said Constituencies, notified on 28^th September,

2020(Monday). However, those electors, who are not able to produce their EPICs, will have to

produce any of the following alternative documents for establishing their identity:-

i.
