is voter id mandatory for voting

No, the Voter ID card (EPIC) is not the only mandatory document for voting. While it is the primary identity proof, the most crucial requirement is that your name must appear in the official Voter List (Electoral Roll). You must present a valid photo identity document to the polling official. The Election Commission of India accepts several other recognized ID cards, including:

• Aadhaar Card
• Passport
• Driving License
• PAN Card
• Service Identity Cards with photograph (Govt/PSUs).
