As an Indian citizen, if you want to cast your vote, you have to have your Voter ID card ready. The Election Commission of India (ECI) has taken a great initiative to make voter information accessible online. Now every registered voter can access their details online via the National Voters’ Service Portal (NVSP) and Voter Helpline app.
Let’s take a detailed look into how to access ECI voter information online:
Step 1: Visit the National Voters’ Service Portal (NVSP)
When you visit the NVSP website, you’ll find a wide range of options to select from. You can check the status of your application for enrolment in electoral roll, apply for a new voter ID card, apply for corrections, and many more.
Step 2: Choose the ‘Search Your Name in Electoral Roll’ option
When you click on the ‘Search Your Name in Electoral Roll’ option, you’ll be directed to a page that offers four methods to search for your name in the Electoral Roll – Search by Details, Search by EPIC Number, Search by Area/Address, and Search by ECI- Introduced GIS Map.
Step 3: Enter your details
Select the ‘Search by Details’ option, and then fill in the required details – your name, date of birth (DOB), gender, state, district, and assembly constituency. Make sure the details you have entered are accurate, or you may not get the desired result.
Step 4: Verification
Once you submit your information, you will receive a message with your details. You can check if your name is listed on the Voter List or not. You can also check if your voter ID card is issued or not.
Step 5: Download
If you find your name in the Electoral Roll, then you have the option to download a soft copy of your Voter ID card. Simply click on the ‘Download E-EPIC’ option, and enter your EPIC number or Form Reference Number. A password will be sent to your registered mobile number, which you can use to open and download your E-EPIC.
Conclusion
With this new online initiative from the ECI, accessing your voter information has become incredibly easy. By following these simple steps, you can ensure that all your details in the Voter List are correct, and that you have a valid Voter ID card. It’s really important to exercise our democratic right to vote, and with this easy accessibility, there’s no excuse for not doing so. Cast your vote – it’s your right!
