📜 Indian Voter List Information

What are Voter Enumeration Forms?

Voter Enumeration Forms are the official application forms used by the **Election Commission of India (ECI)** to make changes in the electoral roll. They help ensure the right to vote, keep data accurate, and remove the names of deceased individuals.

Key Forms and their Uses:

• Form 6: Used for **enrolling new voters** (those who have completed 18 years of age) and for transfer of enrollment from one constituency to another.
• Form 7: Application for **objection to inclusion** or **deletion** of a name from the electoral roll.
• Form 8: Used for **correction** of particulars in the electoral roll (e.g., name, address, Date of Birth, photo).
• Form 8A: Application for shifting the polling station or changing the address **within the same constituency**. (Note: ECI has integrated this functionality into Form 8 recently).

Why should these forms be filled out?

The goal is to prepare the latest and most accurate electoral roll ahead of the upcoming **2026 election**. You should fill out a form in the following situations:

• Those **newly eligible** to be included in the voter list (turning 18 on January 1st).
• Individuals who have **moved** to a new ward or constituency.
• Those needing **corrections** to details on their EPIC card (photo, name, address).
• To officially **remove the names of deceased** family members.

Things to note while filling out the form

• Document Accuracy: Submit copies of original documents proving your Date of Birth and address.
• Importance of EPIC Number: The **EPIC Number** (Electors Photo Identity Card Number) must not be incorrect under any circumstances.
• Photo: Attach the latest passport-size photograph (for online applications).
• Verification: After filling the form, ensure accuracy through the **Booth Level Officer (BLO)** or via the online portal.

Q: What is the EPIC Number?

A: EPIC stands for **Electors Photo Identity Card**, which is the photo identity card issued to voters by the Election Commission. This number is your identity in the electoral roll.

Q: Can I register online or offline?

A: Both are possible. Applications can be submitted through the portal voters.eci.gov.in and through your nearest Taluk Offices. The online method is currently being promoted more.

Q: Why should I check the Draft Electoral Roll?

A: When the **Draft Roll** is published, you must check if your name, address, and polling station details are correct. If there is an error, you must immediately submit **Form 8** for corrections. Corrections are not easy after the Final List is published.

Q: What information is needed to find my name in the Voter List?

A: Searching using the **EPIC Number** is the easiest. Alternatively, you can search using details like Name, Father's/Husband's Name, Age, State, District, and Constituency.
