According to Chief Election Officer of Maharashtra Shrikant Deshpande, the Election Commission of India will launch a drive to link voter identification cards and Aadhaar cards in Maharashtra from August 1. With the purpose of establishing voter identity, authenticating electoral roll entries, and removing duplicate entries in the same or other constituencies, the project to link Aadhaar Cards with Voter ID Cards has been introduced.
To facilitate the connection of Aadhaar and voter ID, the commision would set up camps throughout Maharashtra.
How to Link Aadhaar Card and Voter Card via National Voter’s Service Portal (NVSP)?
– Log on to the NSVP portal and click on the Search in Electoral Roll option available on the homepage
– Search for your Voter Card using personal details or by submitting your EPIC number and state
– On the left side of your screen a “Feed Aadhaar No.” will appear, click on it
– A pop window asking for your Aadhaar details, with EPIC number will appear
– Submit the required details and authenticate your identity using OTP received on your registered mobile number or email address.
– Click on Submit
– A notification informing you of the successful link of Aadhaar and EPIC will appear on your screen.
Voters, however, have the option to reject the proposal to link their Aadhaar cards with their voter identification cards. No name of a current voter would be removed from the electoral list due to the absence of an Aadhaar number, according to Shrikant Despande.
