Duplication of voter card numbers doesn't imply fake voters: Election Commission

Hindustan Times  

The Election Commission of India responded to claims flagging the issuance of identical voter card numbers on Sunday, stating that the duplication of the voter card numbers did not necessarily mean that there were fake voters, reported PTI. Representational picture: The ECI has said that duplicate EPIC numbers don't necessarily indicate fake voters The issue of fake voters had been flagged during elections in two different states, however the poll panel explained that identical EPIC numbers or series were allotted to some electors due to a "decentralised and manual mechanism" being followed before the electoral roll database of all states was shifted to the ERONET platform. They also clarified that though the EPIC numbers of some voters "may be identical", their demographic details, assembly constituency and polling booth remained different. The election body said that this had resulted in a few state chief electoral officers allotting the same EPIC numbers to electors in different assembly constituencies in different states.
