The Election Commission has made it clear that voters would be allowed to exercise their franchise in the April 13 Tamil Nadu assembly polls either by displaying Elector`s Photo Identity Card (EPIC) or by using voter`s slip. 

"They have to either bring the EPIC card or the voter`s slip to the polling booth for casting their vote," Chief Electoral Officer Praveen Kumar told reporters here. 

Stating that voter`s slip would be distributed door-to-door, he said the process would begin on April 1 in Chennai as the printing of slips were underway.
