Lok Sabha Elections 2024: The people of 102 Lok Sabha constituencies across 21 states and union territories (UTs) will go to the poll in the first phase of voting on Friday (April 19) to elect their representatives to the Lower House. To exercise their franchise, people must have voter slips along with their voter ID cards.
What is a voter slip?
When you enter the polling booth, you will go to the first polling officer who is in-charge of the marked copy of the electoral roll and responsible for the identification of electors. You should keep your identity document ready to show him. You need to show your voter slip which is also called an unofficial identity slip. The voter slip is a token which is given at your residence or can be obtained at the polling booth and you can download it as well. The slip helps in locating your name in the electoral roll and finding a polling booth, however, it is not a guarantee of your identification.
