How to Search Your Name in the Electoral Roll
Step 1: Open the official electoral search
Visit ECI Electoral Search. You may also start from the Voters' Services Portal.
Step 2: Search using the available voter details
Depending on the option currently provided by ECI, search using your EPIC number or elector details such as name, relative's name, age/date of birth, State/UT, district or Assembly Constituency. Enter the displayed verification code where required.
Step 3: Review your electoral-roll entry
Check the displayed voter record carefully. The available record may show details such as your name, EPIC number, constituency, part/polling-station information and serial number. Use ECI's portal for the most current information.
Track Voter ID / Electoral Roll Application Status
If you submitted an application for registration, correction, shifting, deletion or replacement of EPIC, sign in to the Voters' Services Portal and use the application-status facility. Keep the acknowledgement/reference number received after submission.

Who Can Register as a Voter?
Under the Representation of the People Act, 1950, a person must satisfy the statutory conditions for registration, including the applicable age requirement and ordinary residence in the constituency, and must not be disqualified from registration. ECI presently recognizes four qualifying dates in a year: 1 January, 1 April, 1 July and 1 October.
A general elector can use Form 6. An eligible overseas Indian citizen who has not acquired citizenship of another country can use Form 6A, subject to the applicable legal requirements.
