The Election Commission did not consider Aadhaar to be valid for voter verification in Bihar, but Aadhaar is an important document for making voter ID cards.
There is a ruckus in Bihar about the voter list. Just before the Bihar assembly elections, the Election Commission made the voter verification mandatory. Now the matter is in the Supreme Court. The court says that we do not object to the revision of the voter list, but there is a question on taking such a step just before the election. Why did you delay so much? The entire case started after the order of the Election Commission issued on 21 June, in which the list of 11 documents which have been given to include the name in the voter list, but it does not have Aadhaar card and voter ID.
This matter reached the Supreme Court. The lawyer who favor the Election Commission says that only Aadhaar card does not prove citizenship. On this, the Supreme Court questioned the decision of the Election Commission and if you prove the name of a person in the voter list, then it will become a big test.
In such a situation, the question is how the voter ID card is made in other states, whether it has an Aadhaar card mandatory or not,What documents have been sought in Bihar and what is the ruckus on what things?
How is the voter ID card made?
Passport size photos are demanded along with identification, address, age related documents to get voter ID. To prove identity, any of the Aadhaar card, PAN card and passport can be introduced. At the same time, electricity or rent bill can also be given as address proof. At the same time, to prove age, one has to give 10th marksheet or birth certificate. For this, it is mandatory to complete the age of 18 years.There are 2 ways to make voter ID cards.First, online and second offline.

Where is the case trapped in Bihar?
The whole matter in Bihar is related to the verification of voters. There are 7 crore 89 lakh voters in the state. There is a verification of 2.93 crore voters. 4 crore 96 lakh voters are included in the list of 2003, they will not be verified.
The Election Commission’s rule of verification says, the voter included in the 2003 list will only have to fill the form. They will not have verification. Whose birth has been born before 1 July 1987, he will have to give proof of date of birth or birthplace. If born between 1 July 1987 to 2 December 2004, then there will be evidence of birth date or birthplace. At the same time, if you are born after December 2, 2004, then the date of birth, proof of birthplace and documents related to parents will also have to be given.
What is the logic of the Election Commission for not accepting the Aadhaar card?
During the hearing in the Supreme Court, the Election Commission argued. The Election Commission said, Aadhaar is not a proof of citizenship. Our aim is not to deprive anyone from the right to vote, but the Commission has every right to amend the voter list. However, the Election Commission has also assured that the rules will be followed in this process. Nobody’s name will be removed without a process. The Election Commission objected to the petitions of non-governmental organizations and said that they are not voters of Bihar.
