ECI to launch campaign in Maharashtra to link Voter ID with Aadhaar from August 1

The Election Commission of India (ECI) will start a campaign across Maharashtra to link Voter ID cards with Aadhaar from August 1. The aim of this voluntary drive is to establish the identity of electors and authenticate entries in the electoral roll as well as to identify if the same person is registered in more than one constituency or more than once in the same constituency.

“To link Aadhaar card to Voter ID card, voters need to fill application form 6-B available online on the election commission website and at electoral registration offices. It can be linked online on Voter helpline app and national voter service portal, too,” said Shrikant Deshpande, Chief Election Officer (CEO) of Maharashtra.
