Big news for Aadhaar and Voter card holders. To avoid election rigging, the central government is taking steps to connect voter IDs with Aadhaar cards. The Central Election Commission will operate within the framework of Article 326, the RP Act of 1950, and Supreme Court rulings to facilitate the linking of EPIC (Voter ID) with Aadhaar numbers. It’s important to note that linking your voter ID with Aadhaar is optional—you can choose to do it if you want. You can link them both online and offline. Here’s a simple guide on how to do it online.
