The Hijab Controversy

Issue of duplication of EPIC numbers resolved, says EC - https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/issue-of-duplication-of-epic-numbers-resolved-says-ec/article69571934.ece   It was found that on average, around one voter in four polling stations faced the issue of EPIC number duplication, the sources added. There are about 1,000 electors per polling station... “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. All such electors have since been issued new EPIC cards with new numbers,” a senior official of the poll body told The Hindu.
