Gautam Buddha Nagar Lok Sabha Elections 2024: Gautam Buddha Nagar is set to participate in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections on April 26, marking the second phase of elections. The voting will commence at 7 am and continue until 6 pm. It is crucial for voters to carry their voter ID cards, issued by the Election Commission to cast their vote. However, what should one do if they do not have a voter ID card?

There are provisions for individuals without voter ID card. In such cases, voters can rely on election slips, which are usually distributed by political party volunteers outside the polling centers. By collecting these slips and carrying a valid identity card, voters can cast their votes at their designated polling booths. The Election Commission has specified several acceptable identification documents for Phase 2 of the Lok Sabha elections.
