Write the advantages of Elector’s Photo Identity Card.

Answer»

The EPIC was introduced by the then Chief Election Commissioner, T.N Sheshan (1990 1996) to conduct free and fair elections and to remove evil practices like corruption, impersonation (bogus voting), etc., It was introduced in India in 1993. The arrangements were made to issue EPIC to prevent impersonation of electors.

Initially, it was difficult to issue identity cards to all the voters due to some technical problems. But during the term of M.S.Gill, the possession of EPIC by the voters was made compulsory. It is an official document issued by the Election Commission to all the eligible voters. It consists of all the information like voters’ age, name, photo, gender, address, constituency, date of issue, etc.
