Congress party has geared up for its organization election and the membership drive has begun across the country on Monday. The process will be completed by 31st March 2022.

As a pilot project, the digital cards have been issued in three states which include Delhi, Maharashtra, and Telangana. In Mumbai, the party has issued digital identity cards for all its approved Enrollers. In Delhi, around 14,000 digital Identity cards have been issued and in Telangana 30,000 approved Enrollers will take the membership drive forward.

There is a three-step verification for issuing a digital identity card, the first step is the verification of the phone number via an OTP, followed by photo verification and the final step is verification through voter ID card number, and a digital identity card is issued once the verification is done, the entire exercise takes 10-15 minutes.
Congress so far has done its membership drive on paper, it's for the first time that Party in three states and Mumbai will go digital for its membership drive.
