Bihar News: Electoral Commission refuses to include Aadhaar, Voter --id and Ration Card in the Electoral Register; What is the reason in affidavit

In light of the upcoming Bihar elections, the Electoral Commission made an important decision, giving the political parties and the general public a great shock. The Electoral Commission refused to include Aadhaar card, voter -id and ration cards in the election register. For this, the Electoral Commission clearly gave its reason in the affidavit. What is the decision of the Commission? The Electoral Commission said it would not be constitutionally correct to include these documents in the election register. The commission argued that these documents cannot serve as a valid identity to join the election process, as many of these can raise questions about the equality and authenticity of the documents. In the affidavit, the commission said that these documents can only be used as an identity voucher, but that they cannot be officially accepted in the election register. According to the Electoral Commission, the main purpose of the Electoral Commission is to identify the right voter and secure its rights. The commission’s argument on the issue of Aadhaar and the ration card contains information on the date of birth and identity on the Aadhaar card, but it is a document issued by the central government, related to other government schemes, such as ration distribution and bank account. Similarly, there may be some confusion in the issue of identity of voter id and ration cards, as it provides very limited data. The Electoral Commission expressed concern that these documents could disturb the election process. Why was this change necessary? Political parties have long demanded that documents such as Aadhaar card, voter and ration cards be included in the election register, so that there is no wrong disturbance in the identity of voters. Including these documents in the election register can prevent cases of false mood and wrong identity. Commission’s attitude and what in the future? Although this movement of the Electoral Commission aims to maintain the official identity and transparency of the election process, many political parties and leaders after this decision question the decision of the Electoral Commission. They consider it an obstacle in identifying the public’s identity properly. Share this story -tags
