Need for the Document

• All Indians above the age of 18 years are granted the right to vote in an election based on one person, one vote. However, some entities abuse this privilege and have multiple vote ID cards issued in the name of a single individual. To eradicate this menace, the government has taken the step of linking Aadhar cards with their Voter ID (EPIC).
• Thus linking Aadhar with the EPIC is an effective way to get rid of bogus or multiple voter ID cards in a single individual name.
