Jharkhand Assembly Elections 2024 | FAQs: How to cast your vote without a voter ID

The Election Commission of India (ECI) on Tuesday, October 15, announced the dates for the Jharkhand assembly polls 2024. The polling will be held in two phases in Jharkhand on November 13 and November 20 and the votes will be counted on November 23.

Ahead of polling next month, there may be various queries and confusion regarding misplaced voter IDs, incomplete poll booth checks, along with other things.

So here's your guide on how to cast your vote without a voter ID:

First, you need to make sure that your name is included on the electoral rolls. Remembering your Election Photo Identity Card (EPIC) number is not required on the day of voting.

If you are one of those who do not possess a physical copy of your voter ID card, you will still be able to cast your vote.

Here is a list of various documents and ID proofs that you can use instead:

1 - PAN Card

2 - Aadhaar Card

3 - Driving License

4 - Passport

5 - Passbook with your photograph issued by a bank or post office

6 - Pension document for retired personnel

7 - Service ID card issued by a state/central government or a PSU MGNREGA job card

8 - Health insurance smart card issued by the Ministry of Labour and Employment
