What is a voter slip?

To exercise your right to vote in India, you need a Voter ID Card and a voter slip. The voter slip contains information about the Assembly Constituency and its number,  polling station, date and time of the poll, voter's name, gender and so on. 

While the voter slip is important to cast a vote, it is not accepted as a valid ID proof of voters at the polling booth and does not have the photograph of the voter. 

To prove their identity at the polling booth, the voters can carry an Elector Photo Identity Card (EPIC) or one of the eleven photo identity documents. These are:

1- Aadhaar Card
2- MGNREGA Job Card
3- Passbook issued by Bank or Post Office with photo
4- Driving License
5- Service Identity Card with the photograph issued to employees by central/state government/PSUs/public limited companies.
6- PAN Card
7- Passport
8- Pension Document with Photo
9- Smart Card issued under the scheme of the Ministry of Labour
10- Health Insurance Smart Card issued under the scheme of the Ministry of Labour
11- Official Identity Card issued to MPs/MLAs/MLCs
