Why can a person not vote even with an identity card if the name is absent from voter list?

Correct answer: Because identity card shows identity but list records voting eligibility

Correct answer: A. An identity document helps establish who a person is, but polling officials also need the official electoral roll to verify that the person is registered as an eligible voter in that constituency. Possessing an identity card alone does not substitute for being listed in the electoral roll. A is correct because it explains the different functions of the two documents: identity proof confirms identity, while the voter list records electoral registration and eligibility. B is wrong because identity documents are not only for candidates. C is wrong because the electoral roll is for eligible voters, not just ministers. D is wrong because identity verification is normally important at the polling station. Memory cue: an identity card proves “I am this person”; the voter list confirms “I am registered to vote here.”
