Why is it needed to link Aadhaar card and Voter ID?

Linking of voter ID with Aadhaar will establish the identity of an elector and prevent them from registering his or her name in more than one constituency.

This will make voters aware about the latest updates from the Election Commission through mobile notifications.

Voter ID and Aadhaar linking is voluntary and voters can choose not to link their cards.

Tripura's Chief Electoral Officer Kiran Gitte said, "The process will be voluntary and we appeal to all the electors to cooperate with the BLOs when they visit their houses. Under no circumstance, Aadhaar number of voters will not be published on the electoral rolls or voters' slips.”
