Maharashtra Voter List 2022
A Voter I.D is a proof of identification one becomes eligible to hold after they turn 18 years old. The Voter I.D is issued by the Election Commission of India. To ensure the practice of free and fair elections, the Election Commission made it mandatory for eligible voters to hold a Voter I.D. The Voter I.D has to be shown at the time of voting. It is also known as the Elector’s Photo Identity Card or EPIC. As mentioned earlier, one must be of 18 years or older and must be of sound mind to hold a Voter I.D.
A Voter I.D consists of the following segments:
- Your Name
- Parent’s Name
- Serial Number
- Photograph
- Age
- Gender

Why is it important? Having a Voter I.D is essential because it is not only proof of one’s identity, but also because it contains credentials such as one’s signatures, fingerprints etc. It also helps in applying for a bank account, Aadhaar card (if one does not hold an Aadhaar card at the time), other personal documents, and plays an essential role in checking fake votes as well. To apply for a Voter I.D, one must :
- An address proof such as a rent agreement, deed, phone bill, passbook, etc.
- An identity proof such as a student I.D, PAN card, passbook etc.
- Two passport-size photographs.

Maharashtra Voter List
Now that we have discussed in detail Voter I.D, its importance, applications and so on, let us move on further to the Voter List. We may have learnt that it is essential to have a Voter I.D to be eligible to vote, but just a Voter I.D will not be enough by itself. This is why we shall learn about the Voter List.
A Voter List, also known as an Electoral Roll, is essentially a detailed list of all people who are registered and deemed eligible to vote. This list is maintained by the Election Commission of India, ideally made weeks or months before elections take place. Every constituency has its Voter List, so it is best to check one’s name on the list before stepping out to vote.

The importance of a Voter’s list is to ensure there is no foul play during elections or to maintain fairness. The Voter’s list makes sure that a single person casting two votes, or duplication of votes does not take place. The online availability of a voter list is not only to increase transparency but also to make people’s lives easier by removing the need of visiting a government office to procure their names on the list, thereby saving lots of time, money and other resources.
Since the Government of Maharashtra has made the voter’s list available online, the citizens of Maharashtra do not need to visit any government office at all, as they can simply check their name on the Voter’s list or the Electoral Roll online.

Hopefully, this article covers all the important points and answered all the questions of the reader regarding Maharashtra Voter I.D, Maharashtra Voter List, their importance, applications, etc. We already know how important it is to exercise the power of voting. While the voter turnout at India’s 2019 General Elections was its highest ever at 67.1%, it is still a number quiet for the largest democracy of the world. The US presidential elections had a turnout even lesser than India’s, at 66.9%. We must understand that the power of voting gives us the ultimate freedom of electing a candidate of our choice. The fact that a lot of people from India’s lower sections, and Maharashtra’s slum areas still do not hold a voter I.D, or are not on the voter’s list remains a concerning point. Therefore, it is important to continue raising awareness about exercising our right to vote.
