What should I do if I have voter ID but it is not showing in electoral roll or electoral search website? Can I add my name with the existing EPIC ID online?
Answered on April 03,2024
You can search your name in voters list online using the Voters Service portal. You can search online using EPIC id, name or mobile number. You can also search manually in voters list available in printed PDF format available in Panchayat/Village office.
If your name is not there, it means your name is removed from the list. In this case, you need to apply for Voter ID card again.

If the electoral search page does not reflect your details after clicking on the search option, it means that your name is missing from the voter's list and you need to register again.
Follow the below steps to apply Voter ID card online.
- Visit National Voter Service Portal
- Click on Form - 6 (Apply online for registration of new voter/due to shifting from AC)
- Fill details about State, District and Assembly/Parliamentary Constituency. As you are a first time voter, click on button near to it.
- Enter details about name, name of relative of applicant, type of relation, your age or date of birth and gender.
The name as it should appear in the electoral roll and Electors Photo Identity Card (EPIC) should be furnished. The full name should be written in the first box and surname should be written in the second box. In case you do not have a surname, just write the given name. Caste should not be mentioned except where the caste name is used as part of the elector’s name or a surname. Honorific appellations like Shri, Smt. Kumari, Khan, Begum, Pandit etc. should not be mentioned. Please mention your name in English and official language of the State both, if possible.
- Enter current address where applicant is ordinarily resident.
- Enter the permanent address of the applicant.
- Enter optional particulars, if any
