Residents of the city who have not yet got their voter identity cards made still stand a chance. I-cards can be made before April 24, which is the date for the candidates contesting the Lok Sabha elections from Chandigarh to file their nominations.

While I-cards were earlier being issued from the 400-odd booths set up for the purpose, these would now be made at the level of Assistant Electoral Registration Officer (AERO). As many as 12 AEROs have been deputed for the task.

According to officials, applicants need to submit the requisite form along with a residence proof and birth certificate. The residence proof can include driving licence, ration card, bank passbook, Life Insurance Corporation (LIC) policy or the bill of landline phone among other documents.

For the first time, bills of post-paid mobile phones are also being accepted as a proof of residence.

Several political parties are, meanwhile, guiding residents about the procedures to get voter I-cards made, with forms available at party offices.
