ELECTION COMMISSION OF INDIA
———
ORDER
Nirvachan Sadan, Ashoka Road, New Delhi-110001/14th October, 2022
No.3/4/ID/2022/SDR/VOL.II—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
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 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 Elector Photo Identity Card (EPIC) to all electors, according to a
time bound programme; and
6. Whereas, Elector Photo Identity Card have been issued to approximate 100%
electors in the States of Maharashtra, Bihar, Haryana, Telangana, Uttar Pradesh and
Odisha; 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 bye-
elections in 166-Andheri East Assembly Constituency of Maharashtra, 178-Mokama
& 101-Gopalganj Assembly Constituencies of Bihar, 47-Adampur Assembly
Constituency of Haryana, 93-Munugode Assembly Constituency of Telangana, 139-
Gola Gokrannath Assembly Constituency of Uttar Pradesh and 46-Dhamnagar(SC)
Assembly Constituency of Odisha. notified on 07-10-2022, 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:-
4
ǐबहार गजट(असाधारण), 18 अÈ तूबर, 2022
(i)
Aadhar Card,
(ii) MNREGA Job Card,
(iii) Passbooks with photograph issued by Bank/Post Office,
(iv) Health Insurance Smart Card issued under the scheme of Ministry of
Labour,
(v)
Driving License,
(vi) PAN Card,
(vii) Smart Card issued by RGI under NPR,
(viii) Indian Passport,
(ix) Pension document with photograph,
(x)
Service Identity Cards with photograph issued to employees by
Central/State Govt./PSUs/Public Limited Companies, and
(xi) Official identity cards issued to MPs/MLAs/MLCs.
(xii) Unique Disability ID (UDID) Card, M/o Social Justice &
Empowerment, Government of India
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 EPIC which has been issued by the Electoral Registration Officer of another Assembly
Constituency, such EPIC 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 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) in the polling station.
By order,
S.B. JOSHI,
PR. SECRETARY.
