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

EPIC for their identification at the polling stations
before casting their votes. Those electors who are
not able to produce the EPIC shall produce one of
the following alternative photo identity documents

21ST MARCH, 2024
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 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.
By order,
S. B. Joshi,
Principal Secretary.
