Minor spelling errors in EPIC will be ignored if the identity is clear. EPICs from other Assembly segments will also be valid as long as the voter’s name is on the relevant electoral roll. Overseas electors registered under Section 20A must produce their ‘original Indian Passport’.
Voter Information Slips will be distributed at least five days before polling, but cannot be used as ID proof. The CEO urged the voters to verify names in the electoral rolls and participate in polling ‘responsibly and without fail’.
