Check your voter ID online

Srinagar, Mar 20:  The country is gearing up for its 2024 elections which include both the general elections to elect members of the 18th Lok Sabha and assembly elections in several states.

The Election Commission of India (ECI) recently announced the schedule for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, which would be held from April 19 to June 1, 2024, across seven phases, with results expected on June 4, 2024.

Having an updated voter ID, also known as the Electors Photo Identity Card (EPIC), is essential for participating in the democratic process.

Here's a step-by-step guide on how to check if your voter ID is updated:

STEP 1: SUBMIT THE CORRECTION FORM
If you need to update your voter ID details, you can do so by submitting a correction form. The form is available online on the ECI website or can be obtained from your nearest Electoral Registration Office (ERO).

STEP 2: TRACK THE APPLICATION
After submitting the correction form, you can track the status of your application on the ECI website using the reference number provided. It may take a few weeks for the changes to be processed and updated on the electoral roll.

STEP 3: CHECK VOTER ID DETAILS

Using the EPIC Number: Click on 'Search in the Electoral Roll' on the ECI website's homepage. Select the 'Search by EPIC No.' option. Enter your EPIC number (found on your voter ID card) and select your state from the drop-down menu. Click on 'Search' to view your voter details.

Using Personal Details: If you don't have the EPIC number, select the 'Search by Details' option. Enter your details, such as name, age, date of birth, gender, state, and district. Click on 'Search' to view your voter details.

STEP 4: VERIFY UPDATED INFORMATION
If your details appear in the search results, click on your name to view the updated information on your Voter ID. Check if the details such as name, address, age, gender, and photograph are correct and updated.

STEP 5: CONTACT THE ELECTORAL OFFICE (IF NECESSARY)
If you do not find your details or if the information is not updated, contact your nearest Electoral Registration Office (ERO) or visit the official website of your state's Chief Electoral Officer for further assistance.

ADDITIONAL TIPS
Keep your EPIC number handy while checking the details.

It may take some time for the updates to reflect in the system, so if you have recently applied for an update, wait for a few days before checking.

Keep checking periodically until you see the updated information.

By following these steps, you can easily check if your Voter ID is updated with the latest information, enabling you to exercise your right to vote in the Indian General Elections.
