The Delhi Assembly Elections will be held on February 5. The polling will be held in a single phase with 1.55 crore voters exercising their right to vote. The counting will be held on February 8.
The Election Commission issued the notification for the election on January 10 and the filing of nominations will end on January 17. The last date for withdrawal is scheduled three days later. Delhi has 1.55 crore voters – 83.49 lakh men, 71.74 lakh women and 1,261 transgender.
Ahead of polling next month, there may be various queries and confusion regarding misplaced voter IDs, incomplete poll booth checks, along with other things.
Here is your guide on how to cast your vote without a voter ID:
First, you need to make sure that your name is included on the electoral rolls. Remembering your Election Photo Identity Card (EPIC) number is not required on the day of voting.
If you are one of those who do not possess a physical copy of your voter ID card, you will still be able to cast your vote.
Here is a list of various documents and ID proofs that you can use instead:
1 - PAN Card
2 - Aadhaar Card
3 - Driving License
4 - Passport
5 - Passbook with your photograph issued by a bank or post office
6 - Pension document for retired personnel
7 - Service ID card issued by a state/central government or a PSU MGNREGA job card
8 - Health insurance smart card issued by the Ministry of Labour and Employment
