Voter help and frequently asked questions
Use these answers as a starting point, then confirm current requirements with official Election Commission of India (ECI) services. You can also call voter helpline 1950 (add your STD code where required).
Common voter questions
How do I check whether my name is on the voter list?
Search your details on the Voters’ Services Portal or contact your Booth Level Officer. Having a voter ID card alone does not confirm that your name appears on the current electoral roll.
How do I register as a voter for the first time?
Eligible citizens can apply through the ECI’s official voter services. Form 6 is generally used for new voter registration. Check the portal for current eligibility, documents and application steps.
What should I do if I have moved?
Use the official voter services to request registration at your new ordinary place of residence or to update your address. The appropriate form depends on your circumstances; confirm the latest instructions on the portal.
Can I vote if I have lost my voter ID?
Your name must be on the electoral roll, and you must meet the identification requirements in force for that election. Check the ECI’s current list of accepted identification before polling day.
Is Aadhaar required to vote?
Do not assume that Aadhaar is required to cast a vote. Check current ECI instructions for voter registration and accepted identification. This exhibition website is not an official identity-verification service.
Where do I find my polling station?
Check your voter details and polling-station information using the Voters’ Services Portal or contact your Booth Level Officer.
How can I get help or report an election concern?
Call voter helpline 1950 for assistance. For election-related complaints and the right reporting channel, use official ECI services and instructions.
