In 2015, the Indian Election Commission implemented coloured voter identification. These coloured voter identification cards will be sent to voters who have asked for fresh cards as well as corrections to their prior voter identification cards. At the registration station in their city or district, citizens can pay an extra charge of Rs. 30 to switch from their outdated black and white voter card to a coloured copy.
