The Election Commission of India (ECI) has recently announced a new standard of the operating procedure to accelerate the delivery of voter ID cards or Electors Photo Identity Cards (EPICs) to electors within 15 days of an update in the electoral rolls.
The move comes along with several other decisions that the ECI is taking for the convenience of voters, as proposed by the Chief Election Commissioner, Shri Gyanesh Kumar, and Election Commissioners Dr Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Dr Vivek Joshi.
The new system will allow real-time tracking of each stage and tracking of delivery to the elector via the Department of Posts (DoP).
All the voters will receive SMS alerts at every stage, which keeps them updated on the progress of their EPIC.
