Voter ID is a very important document for Indians. But still, many people don’t have a voter ID. In India, the privilege to cast a vote is given to persons aged 18 years or above. However, to exercise this right, one’s name must be listed in the Electoral Registry. The issuance of a voter ID card depends on the name included in this list. Those who have attained the age of 18 years and want to get a voter ID can apply online sitting at home.
