Do you also have two voter ID cards? Know what punishment can be given for doing this.

It is necessary for all the people living in India to have some documents. They are needed every day somewhere for some work. Talking about these documents, the voter card is also a very important document.

Without this, you cannot vote in India. All citizens above 18 years of age can apply for a voter card. But let us tell you that like other documents, some rules have been made for voter card as well. Which you have to follow.

Let us tell you that according to the rules, any citizen can have only one voter card. If someone has more than one voter card, then he may have to face trouble. This is illegal under the rules.

Any citizen can be punished with imprisonment of 1 year or fine or both for having more than one voter card. Therefore, if you have two voter cards, cancel one immediately or else you will get into trouble.

People who have got two voter IDs made by mistake are also given a chance to correct this mistake themselves. There is an option to delete or correct one card by going to the Election Commission website. If it has happened by mistake, then it is better to get it corrected soon.

It has been seen many times that when people shift from one place to another, where they had their first voter ID, they do not cancel it. And go to the new place and get another voter ID made. This is also the reason why this problem occurs more.

You can also get your voter card cancelled by telling the Booth Level Officer i.e. BLO of your area and giving him the necessary documents. So that when you go to the new place and get a new voter card made. So there should not be any voter card already registered in your name.
