What is the main use of a voter identity card?

Correct answer: To identify the voter

Direct answer: A, to identify the voter. A voter identity card is used mainly to help confirm that the person appearing at a polling station is the voter named in the electoral records. During an election, officials check the voter’s details and identity according to the applicable rules before allowing the person to vote. The card supports voter identification; it is not itself a substitute for meeting the legal conditions of voting or being included in the voter list. Option A is correct because it directly describes the card’s election-related purpose. Option B is wrong because tax collection is handled through tax and revenue records, not voter identity cards. Option C is wrong because school admission uses school, age, residence, or other required documents. Option D is wrong because railway tickets are issued through railway booking systems and are not the purpose of a voter card. Memory cue: voter ID means “identity at voting,” while the voter list tells whether the person is registered to vote.
