How to link Aadhaar with Voter ID: Complete online and offline method of filling Form 6B and status check.

The facility to link Voter ID (EPIC) with Aadhaar has been provided by the Election Commission of India (ECI) with the aim of making the voter list error-free, transparent and free from fake entries.

If a citizen does not have an Aadhar card or does not want to share it, his name cannot be struck off from the voter list on this basis alone.
