How To Check Your Name Online On Voter List? Here’s A Step-By-Step Guide

Here’s a step by step of how you can check your name online on the voter list.

With Assembly elections set to be held in five states next month, many people who are not registered voters or those who just turned 18 are wanting to check if they are eligible to vote in the upcoming polls. The Election Commission of India issues a photo identity card called Voter ID Card, also known as Electors Identity Card (EPIC), to all those persons who are eligible to vote.

A total of 18.34 crore electors, including 8.55 crore women, in five states – Goa, Manipur, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand – are eligible to vote in the upcoming polls. Among these, 25 lakh electors will be first-time voters. Thus, it is important for voters to know how they can check for their name on the voter list.

Here’s how you can check your name online on the voter list:

1. You can check that your name has been entered correctly by visiting the National Voters’ Service Portal (NVSP) website.
2. Now, you have to open the official website.
3. Here on the main page, there will be an option of Search in Electoral Role.
4. You have to click on that option, and after clicking on it, a webpage will open, where you have to enter your information.
