How To Check Your Name in the Voter List for the April 9 Polls
Before heading to the polling station, every citizen must ensure their name is present in the final electoral roll. Even if you possess a physical Voter ID (EPIC) card, you cannot cast your ballot unless your name is on the official list. Voters can check their status by visiting the Voters' Services Portal at voters.eci.gov.in. The portal offers three primary search methods:
- Search by EPIC: Enter your unique Voter ID number and your state.
- Search by Details: Input your name, age, gender, and district.
- Search by Mobile: Verify your registration using the mobile number linked to your EPIC profile
Downloading the Voter Information Slip for April 9 Assembly Elections
The Voter Information Slip is a critical document that contains your part number, serial number, and exact polling booth address. While the ECI often distributes physical slips, a digital version can be downloaded for convenience. To download your slip, navigate to the "Search in Electoral Roll" tab on the ECI portal. Once your details are displayed, click on the "Print Voter Information" button. This slip serves as a guide for election day, but must be accompanied by a valid identity proof to enter the booth.
How To Find Your Polling Station
The ECI has rationalised polling stations for the 2026 elections to improve accessibility. You can find your specific booth through the following channels:
- Voter Helpline App: Available on Android and iOS, the app allows users to view their polling booth location on a map.
- SMS Service: Voters can send an SMS with their EPIC number to 1950 to receive booth details.
- CEO Websites: The Chief Electoral Officers of Assam, Kerala, and Puducherry have published constituency-wise lists of polling stations on their respective official websites.
