Voter ID-Aadhaar Link: Taking a comprehensive step towards electoral reforms, the Central Government has approved the Draft Bill to link Aadhaar with Voter ID Card. Now you can link your Voter ID card with Aadhar card.
Voter ID-Aadhaar Link: Till now only the process of linking PAN card with Aadhar card was there. But now you can also link your Voter ID card with Aadhar card. For this, the Central Government, taking a comprehensive step towards electoral reforms, has approved the draft bill linking Aadhaar with Voter ID card. With the help of this bill, those exercising their franchise for the first time will get four opportunities in a year to add their names in the voter list. It has not been made mandatory for everyone. Currently, those who turn 18 on or before January 1 are allowed to register as a voter.
Will be able to register a total of four times
Apart from this, according to the second proposal, instead of January 1 once a year, now a total of four times in a year can be registered with 4 cut off dates. This process will be for those people of the age of 18, who have become a voter for the first time. There is a plan to keep 4 ‘cut-off’ dates every year to nominate people as voters by making amendments in the election law.
Be the most eligible young voter
This step will help in creating a common voter list for Lok Sabha, Vidhan Sabha and local body elections and will also ensure that more eligible youth become voters. The Election Commission of India is pushing for several ‘cut-off’ dates to allow more eligible people to register as voters.
One person will be eligible for nomination in the Voter List
As of now, for an election held in a particular year, only a person is eligible to be nominated in the voter list who has attained the age of 18 years as on or before January 1 of that year. The Election Commission had told the government that, the ‘cut-off’ date of January 1, fixed for this purpose, deprives many youths from participating in a particular election. So now it has been done four times.
