Voter ID card: How to check your name online on National Voters’ Service portal
]
New Delhi: Voter ID card is provided to eligible voters who are on EC’s electoral rolls and is considered one of the most important document for the citizens. Such voters are provided with a physical voter identity card. Introduced in 1993 for the first time, the election photo identity cards are acceptable as proof of identity and address.
Here is a step-by-step procedure through which you can check your name in the electoral roll using your Voter ID.
First visit the National Voters’ Service portal on www.nvsp.in
On the top left corner of the website, you will find the option ‘Search in electoral roll’
Now you will be taken to this page (https://electoralsearch.in/)
You can either choose to search by details or choose search by EPIC number. EPIC stands for Electors Photo Identity Card and is commonly known as Voter ID card.
For Search by EPIC number, you will have to provide the alphanumeric number that is provided in your voter ID card.
If you choose to search by details, you will be required to feed in your details like your name, age, sex, state, date of birth, district, father’s or husband’s name.
Fill in the required details and provide the captcha code.
Now hit the search button.
If your name appears on the portal, it will mean you are eligible to vote in your area.
On the electoral search you can search your name in National Electoral Roll by entering basic details, locate polling station on map, print voter information slip. You can also apply for Enrolment, Modification, Deletion and change of address in electoral roll. Alternatively, you can also know booth level officer (BLO), electoral roll officer (ERO) and know district election officials and officials in Chief Election Office, among other services.
Election Commission postpones e-Voter ID facility for general public until further notice
]
The Election Commission of India (ECI) has postponed its plan to allow citizens to download an e-Electoral Photo ID Card, or e-EPIC, starting on February 1, according to an announcement by the Chief Electoral Officer of Gujarat. It appears that the recently set-up Voter Portal of the ECI was supposed to let users download an e-EPIC, but the page now shows a message directing users to “Please download through nvsp.in”, referring to the pre-existing National Voters’ Services Portal (NSVP).
“Looking at the high demand, Commission has decided to give first priority to the newly enrolled voters and has therefore decided that e-EPIC download for voters who have been newly enrolled during SSR2021 will be continued till end of February 2021,” the Gujarat Chief Electoral Officer said on Twitter. “For other voters, wait for our announcement.” We have reached out to the Election Commission’s spokesperson for comment on the delay. Based on the CEO’s statement, it is possible that government systems may not have been prepared for the demand. The e-voter card was announced for all Indian adults registered to vote with a smartphone or computer.
As of now, only voters who were added during the year’s first Special Summary Revision (SSR) are eligible to download an e-EPIC. That doesn’t necessarily mean that people who successfully registered to vote this year are eligible; users will also have to have been included in the SSR this year, which may not be the case if their registrations were approved after that roll was prepared.
The e-KYC facility, which would have enabled Aadhaar-based authentication of electors, doesn’t appear on the Voter Portal or NVSP either. We have also asked ECI why this is the case.
