Vote Without a Voter ID Card: Alternate Documents Accepted in India

The Election Commission of India (ECI) allows voters to cast their ballots without a physical voter ID card in certain circumstances. Voters whose names are on the electoral roll can use alternative ID proofs, including PAN card, Aadhaar card, driving license, passport, bank passbook with photo, pension document, service ID card, or health insurance smart card issued by the Ministry of Labour and Employment. This provision ensures that eligible voters can exercise their right to vote even if they do not have a physical voter ID card.
