National Electoral Roll Purification and Authentication Programme
voter registration programme provided by India's national electoral commission
National Electoral Roll Purification and Authentication Programme (NERPAP) is voter registration project of the Election Commission of India. It will link the Elector's Photo Identity Card (EPIC) with the Aadhaar number of the registered voter. It aims to create an error-free voter identification system in India, especially by removing duplications. The project was launched on 3 March 2015.
On 11 August 2015, the Supreme Court of India passed an interim order regarding the Aadhaar project, which caused the NERPAP to be put on hold.

The voters can also submit their documents at designated registration camps and offices. Voters with multiple entries in the databases can voluntarily disclose it. Voters will be able to apply for corrections in their EPIC entries by submitting supporting documents.

Why this record matters
“National Electoral Roll Purification and Authentication Programme” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, National, Electoral and Roll provides the most credible route into that argument.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jan 7, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q19894566. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2015 and 1950.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
