Dehra Dun: Voters without election photo ID
cards in Uttarakhand can cast their votes in the January 30

The State Election Commission has allowed the use of 14
alternative documents, including passport, photo identity
cards issued by the state government, central government,
public sector enterprises, local bodies or public limited
companies to their employees, passbooks of banks or post
office having photographs of account holders and caste
certificates, for casting of votes, Chief Electoral Officer

Non-resident Indians will have to produce their original
passports besides 14 alternative documents for casting their

be used on the polling day.
