'Aadhaar is just...': What Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar said on its use in voter rolls
Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar stated Aadhaar is not proof of citizenship for electoral rolls. This clarification follows a Supreme Court directive allowing Aadhaar as an identity document during the Special Intensive Revision. The CEC emphasized Aadhaar does not establish residence or date of birth either. Providing the Aadhaar number remains optional for voters.
