The fifth phase of the Lok Sabha elections 2024 will be held on May 20th, covering 49 seats across 6 states and 2 Union Territories. In case voters do not possess a voter ID card, they can use various alternate ID proofs or documents for identification. This includes PAN card, Aadhaar card, driving license, passport, and other specified documents.
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.
