How to apply for an Indian voter's ID card or Electors Photo Identity Card?

Many of us does not know that Voter’s ID card is not a mandatory document for Voting.., Voter ID card is only for Identity purpose.., if you have any other identity docs like Passport, PAN card or Driving license, Govt issued ID card, then you do not need a Voter ID card.


For voting, you should have your name registered in the Voters list, once you have your name, you can caste your vote by showing any Identity document.

Still you want to voter’s ID card, then Government of India does not offer a single office where you can go and get your voter ID card as you can do for Driving license or passport. However you can request your name to be added in the voters list by filling up the form to your nearest Electoral Registration Officer (ERO). 

At specific time periods, generally before Lok Sabha or Vidhan Sabha elections, Election Commission of India (ECI) organizes campaigns to issue voter ID cards, you can find the ads in the news paper regarding this. You can visit the given location and apply for the Voter ID card. They will give you some time to collect your card.

Sometimes they come to your home, that is the easiest way to get the card. Once your card is ready, you can go and collect it.

After doing all these things, still you are not sure that your card will be ready. If your card is not ready before election, then you have to wait for the next election to come and a new campaign.

    Getting admissions in a good college and completing the admission procedure is no less a trauma for a parent as it is for a student. To resolve the various issues that parents face, a meet was held at NMSA between principals and parents. The meet was presided over by Thane Guardian Minister Ganesh Naik. Principal of ICL College, Jayshree Dau stated that they have always tried to provide admissions to students with economically weaker backgrounds, orphans or physically challenged. But it also necessary for them to have the requisite documents from the student.
