What is a voter slip?
A voter slip is a token given by the poll officer which carries details of a voter, including the polling booth number. As you proceed to cast your vote, you first meet the polling officer, who is the in-charge of the marked copy of the electoral roll and responsible for the identification of electors. You should keep your identity document (Voter ID card) ready to show him. The poll official then will give you a voter slip which is also called an unofficial identity slip. The voter slip is also given at the residence of the voter or can be obtained at the polling booth or you can download it as well. The slip helps in locating your name in the electoral roll and finding a polling booth. However, it is not a guarantee of your identification.
