What is a voter slip?
A voter slip is a kind of proof that a person who seeks to caste his-her vote is eligible and included in the election commission's electoral roll. The slip contains a voter's information including their name, address, locality, booth information and other details. The voter has to submit the slip to the first polling officer at their designated polling booth before casting the vote.
The polling officer verifies the information mentioned in the voter slip with the marked copy of the electoral roll and is also responsible for the identification of electors. One should keep his-her identity proof ready while going to the polling centre.
A person is supposed to show the voter slip to the polling officer which is also called an unofficial identity slip. The voter slip is a token which is given at your residence or can be obtained at the polling booth and 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.
