The Election Commission has resolved the issue of voter cards having similar numbers and those with such cards have been issued fresh ones with new numbers, sources said Tuesday.
The number of similar electoral photo identity card or EPIC numbers found were “miniscule”, averaging to around one in four polling stations, they said.
During the field-level verification, it was found that holders of such similar EPIC numbers were genuine electors in different assembly constituencies and different polling stations, the sources said. PTI
