How to Link Aadhaar with Voter ID in 2025 – Step-by-Step Guide

Introduction – Why Aadhaar Linking with Voter ID Is Being Enforced in 2025

Duplicate entries. Fake voters. Bogus electoral rolls.

To curb all these problems, the Election Commission of India launched the EPIC–Aadhaar linking initiative, allowing voters to voluntarily link their Aadhaar card with their voter ID (EPIC).

While it is not yet mandatory, many states are sending notices and SMS alerts urging citizens to complete this process in 2025 to:

Eliminate duplicate voter entries
Improve electoral roll accuracy
Enable better voter record validation
Comply with proposed electoral reforms

Legal Note:

Linking Aadhaar to Voter ID is voluntary as per the Election Laws (Amendment) Act, 2021 — but not doing it may affect your eligibility for simplified voting and future digital roll-outs.

Who Can Link Aadhaar with Voter ID in 2025?

Any Indian citizen who holds a valid voter ID (EPIC) and has a 12-digit Aadhaar number can link both documents online or offline.

✅ Eligibility Criteria

Must be an Indian citizen
Must have a valid EPIC (Voter ID) issued by the Election Commission
Must have a valid Aadhaar card issued by UIDAI
Age should be 18 years or above
Must not have already linked Aadhaar to another EPIC from a different constituency (to avoid duplication)

📄 Required Documents for Linking:

You do not need to upload documents in most online processes, but should keep the following handy for verification if needed:

Aadhaar card (digital or physical)
EPIC number (printed on voter ID)
Registered mobile number for OTP verification

🔐 Note: Aadhaar is only used for authentication and will not be visible on the final voter roll. Linking does not share biometric data with the Election Commission.
