Assembly Elections 2021: Don't have a Voter’s ID card! You can still vote if you have these documents

Four states and one Union territory are set to hold elections tomorrow (Tuesday, 6 April).

Polling for Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Puducherry Assembly elections will take place in a single phase, which will also witness the third and final phase of the Assam polls.

West Bengal, which will hold elections in phases till 29 April, will see its third phase of polling.

Votes will be counted on on 2 May.

Every voter is required to carry voter slip (it can be downloaded online from nvsp.in) along with their voter identification card (also known as Electors Photo Identity Card or EPIC or Voter's ID) that is issued by the Election Commission of India (EC).

But what if you don't have your Voter's ID card? Are there any documents that can act as a substitute?

Here's a list of documents that voters can use instead of a Voter ID card as a photo identity proof to cast vote:

1. Passport
2. Driving licence
3. Service identity card of the state government or the central government
4. PAN card
5. Aadhar card
6. Passbook issued by bank or post office
7. MGNREGA job card
8. Health insurance card issued by the Ministry of Labour
9. Pension document with a photograph
10. Authenticated photo voter slip issued by the Election Commission
11. Public limited companies
12. Passbooks issued by banks or post office
13. Pension document with photograph and official identity cards issued to MPs, MLAs and MLCs.
