Photo slips for all voters this time

NEW DELHI: With barely a week left for polling, the Election Commission is working hard to weed out bogus voters. On Monday, the poll panel came out with a public notification on the distribution of photo voter slips, which are being issued for the first time in the capital.

"EC will distribute these photo voter slips to everyone on the electoral roll. Each booth-level officer has been allotted around 1,000-1,500 voters," said Vijay Dev, chief electoral officer, Delhi.

The receipt of the photo voter slip, which will be handed out in every household, will need to be acknowledged by the voter. This, says Dev, will help ensure that every genuine voter gets it. "This time, it's a 100% photo electoral roll. The photo voter slip will also allow us to update records as the voter will have to give contact number and email address during the receipt of the slip," added Dev.

During the 2008 assembly polls, only 84% of the electoral roll was photo-based. That's not all. The photo voter slip will also facilitate voters, say EC officials. Till now, the voter ID card or any other authorized documentation was mandatory during polling. Now, the photo voter slip is enough to get you entry into the polling booth. "Sometimes, the required ID is not available or people forget to get it. The photo voter slip will make the process easier," said Dev.

The distribution of these voter slips will also enable the poll panel to implement the 48-hour no-campaign rule. Till now, though the EC regulations mandated that no political party would carry out campaigns 48-hours before the polling day, this rule was circumvented. Political parties would distribute the polling booth details along with the voter ID information to voters.

"Since this exercise would be carried out during that 48-hour period, it became a way of violating the rule, as parties would still be reaching out to voters. Now that won't be possible," said Dev.
