ETV certificate

An Eligible to Vote (Abbreviated as ETV) Certificate is a national identity document consisting of the bearers name, region, and birthdate. While the ETV certificate is non-compulsory, citizens are required to bear this certificate in order to participate in Pwaaalandian elections of any level.

ETV certificates, valid for a period of 4 years, are collectively issued by the Citizens Affairs Head Office. A copy of all holders' data is stored in a central database in an undisclosed location and accessible by any national polling locations during election periods, this database can also be accessed by a judge in a court of law under restrictions if information within the database could affect the ruling.

This certificate cannot be used to travel abroad, with the Pwaaalandian passport being the only legal document valid for international travel.

History
The concept of this document was originally proposed during the initial creation of the Pwaaalandian government, with it being one of the first additions to Pwaaalandia upon the country's creation. The initial rendition of the certificate was a piece of black and white printed paper, with little to no security features.

The initial ETV certificate was soon replaced in 2006 as part of the Five Year Plan due to a study carried out by Ve with the original paper being replaced with a PVC plastic card, while pertaining to the trend of minimum security features.

The certificate itself is a PVC card thinner than a usual ID card, and does not carry any electronic components within the certificate itself.
