ELECTION COMMISSION OF INDIA
ORDER
New Delhi, the 18th January, 2018
O.N. 07(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
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 Rajasthan and West Bengal; and
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 current bye elections from 8-Alwar Parliamentary Constituency,
13-Ajmer Parliamentary Constituency, 183-Mandalgarh Assembly Constituency in Rajasthan and
26-Uluberia Parliamentary Constituency, 107-Noapara Assembly Constituency in West Bengal, which
have been notified on 03-01-2018(WED) 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;
4 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : EXTRAORDINARY [PART II—SEC. 3(iii)]
(ix) Pension document with photograph,
(x) Authenticated Photo Voter Slip issued by the election machinery; and
(xi) Official identity cards issued to MPs/MLAs/MLCs
(xii) Aadhaar Card.
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.
