Your Voter ID card is an important document. It not only helps you in voting during the voting, but it also serves as proof of address and identity in banks, mutual funds, electricity / telephone connections etc. Once your voter card has been made, then you can easily get duplicate voter card after it is lost or has been destroyed
There can be three reasons for the Voter ID card to be re-applied: Card Theft, Card Lost or Card Destroyed. In all these cases you can reapply for your voter ID card with these simple steps.
