ELECTION COMMISSION OF INDIA
ORDER
New Delhi, the 28th January, 2015
O.N. 7(E).—(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
¹Hkkx IIµ[k.M 3(iii)º Hkkjr dk jkti=k % vlk/kj.k 3

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 substantially high percentage of electors in the
States of West Bengal, Arunachal Pradesh, Goa, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh;
7. Whereas, in addition the Commission has directed that ‘Authenticated Photo Voters Slip’ shall be
distributed to the electors before the date of poll for the current bye-elections;
8. Now, therefore, after taking into account all relevant factors and the legal and factual position, the Election
Commission hereby directs that for bye-elections to the House of the People of 14-Bangaon (SC) Parliamentary
Constituency of West Bengal and States Legislative Assemblies of 27-Liromoba (ST) Assembly Constituency of
Arunachal Pradesh, 11-Panaji Assembly Constituency of Goa, 139-Srirangam Assembly Constituency of Tamil
Nadu, 88-Krishnaganj (SC) Assembly Constituency of West Bengal, 91-Mukhed Assembly Constituency of
Maharashtra and 167-Triupati Assembly Constituency of Andhra Pradesh, which have been notified on
19-01-2015, 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) Aadhar Card;
(vii) Smart Card issued by RGI under NPR;
(viii) MNREGA Job Card;
(ix) Health Insurance Smart Card issued under the scheme of Ministry of Labour;
(x) Pension document with photograph;
(xi) Authenticated Photo Voter Slip issued by the election machinery; and
(xii) Official identity cards issued to MPs/MLAs/MLCs.
9. 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 8 above.
10. Notwithstanding anything in Para 8 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.
