Poll panel said it will be done as per provisions of Article 326 of Constitution, the RP Act, and in line with the Supreme Court's 2023 judgment

NEW DELHI: The Election Commission of India (ECI) on Tuesday said that it will set the ball rolling on the process of linking the Aadhaar data of electors with the Elector Photo Identification Card (EPIC) database, in an apparent bid to weed out the problem of duplicate EPICs.

But the commission said that the operation will be done "in line with" the Supreme Court's judgment of 2023, when the poll body had told the top court that linking Aadhaar with EPICs was not mandatory.
