The drive, which started last month, may also help in giving voters an option to cast their franchise online in future, an senior electoral officer in the state said.
Nearly 3,10,000 voters in the state have registered to link their Aadhaar cards with the electoral photo identity cards (EPIC). From Mumbai and Thane, only around 16,000 voters have got themselves registered till now, he said.
"The largest number of people who have registered themselves are from Hingoli district (43,735), followed by Kolhapur (43,554)," he said.
Linking the Aadhaar cards with the people's voter ID cards will help the Election Commission to remove bogus IDs from the system and to make voter list transparent, he said.
