Voter guide and voter slips are being distributed to all voters before voting. The Voter Slip with Photo can be used for information/guidance, but not as a proof of identity. If it is not possible to identify the voter due to mismatch in the photograph etc. of the voter in the Photo EPIC, then the voter will have to show any of the 12 optional photo documents to the polling officer.
