Tripura on 30 November 2013 introduced for the first time in the
country PVC Electoral Photo Identity Card (PVC EPIC) as mandated by the
Election Commission of India.
The new PVC (Poly Vinyl Chloride- or
Plastic) EPIC has many scientific security features to prevent duplication,
forging and tampering. Unlike the present paper voter's card, the PVC-EPIC has
inserted coded information of the elector. The information and government logos
of the new EPIC would be visible only in ultraviolet light.
Tripura is the first
state in India to introduce the newly designed EPIC.
The new card will be issued through the
Common Service Centre of the central government's Information Technology
department. The card was simultaneously introduced in 23 sub-divisions of all
the eight districts of the State.
