“If any voter was unable to present his or her identity card, such voter would have to produce any one of the alternative documents containing a photo to establish identity. However, if it was not possible to ascertain the identity of the elector due to mismatch of photographs etc, the elector would have to produce an alternate photo document,” he added.
