Come March, the Election Commission of India (ECI) will embark on a nationwide drive to link Aadhaar numbers with electoral rolls. The aim is to weed out multiple voter cards and bogus voters, and put in place an authentic database of voters.
The initiative, Electoral Roll Purification and Authentication Drive (ERPAD), to be launched across all 676 districts, is proposed to be completed by August 15.
As part of the nationwide drive, the Election Commission of India wants every voter to update one's Aadhaar card number on its website launched last January. Just like DBTL, linking Aadhaar with EPIC cards isn't mandatory for voters to update their data, though ECI is keen on linking the two.
The portal launched for the purpose will also provide people with an opportunity to change details on their voter ID cards. Error in address, spellings and date of birth can be rectified.
