Section 34 in The Goa Panchayat and Zilla Panchayat (Election Procedure) Rules, 1996
34. Identity of Elector.
- Immediately before the Ballot paper is delivered to an elector, the Presiding Officer shall satisfy himself as to the identity of the elector with reference to the entry relating to that elector in the voters list. He shall also hear and decide then and there any objections raised in this behalf. He may refuse to issue a Ballot paper or papers to any person who declines to answer any reasonable question put to him for the purpose of ascertaining such identity or whose identity is not established to his satisfaction. But issue of Ballot papers shall not be refused merely on the ground of any typographical error or omission in the relevant entries of the voters list if the identity of the elector is otherwise established.
