2014 was a good year for Election Commission of India. Partly due to a staggering voter turnout. The Lok Sabha elections of 2014 witnessed the highest ever voter turn out since the 1984 General Elections. Also it is said the the ECI nearly spent 3500 Crore Rupees on it. This is a great achievement for India because of the basic ideology that a Democracy is a Government of the people, for the people and by the people. Hence, the new government was indeed elected by people of India and they came out in large numbers to make their opinion count. The commission over the years, has had a dream of 100 percent voter turnout and that all the voters get their voter id card leaving none of them behind, as far as the right to vote is concerned.

In a bid to register as many voters as possible, the ECI has to face a persistent challenge. This challenge is to put forward a voter registration mechanism which has minimum rigidity and maximum performance. The challenge and its difficulty level is further aggravated by the humongous population of our beautiful nation, both in terms of numbers and diversity.

The huge population means a proportionally huge number of voters. So the question is, how does the Election Commission of India categorize a huge list of voters? And, how do the voters conduct Identity Card number search without much difficulties and in least possible time?

The ECI official website surely provides the mechanism. A special feature of this website is, Election Commission of India identity card number search.
