In India, the voter ID card is not only used for voting in elections but is also an important identity card. Till now, the cards that people had were made of paper and got damaged quickly. People often had to face problems due to water, tearing, or getting lost. In view of this problem, the Election Commission of India (ECI) has taken a revolutionary step and launched a new PVC voter ID card. It is made of plastic, which looks exactly like an ATM or debit card.
