The recent endeavor by the Central Government of linking Voter ID to Aadhar Card has now established a transparent and secure mechanism. The Election Officer of Udaipur district, Tarachand Meena (District Collector) initiated this scheme in Udaipur on 1 August, 2022.

On Monday, 22 August, 2022, a press conference was held at Udaipur in which the city’s Election Officer and ADM Om Prakash Bunker made people aware about a new online app “Voter Helpline”, from which the Adhaar card number and Voter ID number can be linked easily from the mobile. He guided the Booth Level Officers, journalists and other participants on linking their numbers. Anyone who does not know their Voter ID number can search in this app by adding their names.

The Booth Level Officers (BLO) will be helping people in linking their Adhaar card number to Voter ID in their respective areas. Responding to security concerns raised by people, the ADM (City) PrabhaGautam said that there is no need to worry as this process is very much reliable and safe.
