Aadhaar-voter Id Link

The initiative, to link Aadhaar Card with Voter ID Cards, has been introduced with the aim to establish the identity of electors and authenticate entries in the electoral roll and eliminate duplicate entries in the same or different constituencies.

The linking of Aadhaar and voter ID cards will be "voluntary and not compulsory", Law Minister Kiren Rijiju told NDTV Tuesday, amid protests against the controversial Election Laws (Amendment) Bill and the manner in which it was passed.

Parliament today passed a Bill to link electoral roll data with the Aadhaar ecosystem with Rajya Sabha passing it by voice vote amid a walkout by the Opposition.

Four changes in the electoral law, the key one allowing linking of Aadhaar to the voter identity card, was passed in the Lok Sabha amid uproar today. The opposition demanded a review of the bill, arguing against the Aadhaar-voter I-card link.
