Is it mandatory to link voter id with aadhar

Linking Voter ID with Aadhaar is not mandatory in India; it is a voluntary process. The Election Commission of India has confirmed that voter registration cannot be denied or names removed from the electoral roll solely for not providing Aadhaar details. While the government encourages linking to eliminate duplicate entries and purify the voter list, voters who choose not to provide their Aadhaar number can still maintain their registration by providing a valid reason. Alternate identification documents, such as a PAN card or Driving License, can be used for authentication.
