Aadhaar, voter ID & ration cards can’t be considered for SIR: EC

IndiaTimes Monday, 21 July 2025
The Election Commission of India disagreed with the Supreme Court's view on using Aadhaar, voter ID, and ration cards for Bihar's electoral roll Special Summary Revision. EC stated these documents are unreliable. Aadhaar is just an identity proof. Many fake ration cards exist. Using current voter cards would defeat the purpose of the special drive.
