What you can check

How to check voter ID status

  1. Open voters.eci.gov.in/home/track (Track Application Status).
  2. Enter the reference ID you received when you submitted your form.
  3. Add your state and any captcha or OTP if prompted.
  4. The page shows the current stage — submitted, under verification by the Booth Level Officer (BLO), accepted or rejected.

You can also track from inside your account: log in at voters.eci.gov.in/login and open your applications list.

Download your e-EPIC

  1. Enter your EPIC number or the reference ID, then verify with OTP.
  2. Download the e-EPIC PDF. It is a valid form of your voter ID.

The e-EPIC is usually available once your application is approved and the EPIC number is generated.

Search the electoral roll

To confirm your name is on the voter list and find your booth:

  1. Search by EPIC number, by details (name, age, state, constituency), or by mobile OTP.
  2. The result shows your roll entry, part number and polling station.

If your name is missing from the roll, you may need to apply afresh with Form 6 or get an error corrected with Form 8.

Forms you should know

Form Use
Form 6 New voter registration, or shifting to a new constituency
Form 7 Objection to or deletion of an entry
Form 8 Correction of details, replacement EPIC, or marking as a person with disability

If your application is delayed or rejected

  1. Track the reference ID to see the exact stage.
  2. Respond to BLO verification — the Booth Level Officer may visit or call to verify your address.
  3. Use the Voter Helpline app or call 1950 (prefix your STD code if needed) to raise the issue.
  4. Re-apply or correct with the right form if the application was rejected for a fixable reason.

Safety warnings

Frequently asked questions

Where do I check my voter ID application status?

On the ECI Voters' Services Portal at voters.eci.gov.in. Open Track Application Status, enter the reference ID from your application, and the current stage is shown. You can also log in to see all your applications.

Is the e-EPIC the same as a physical voter ID?

The e-EPIC is the digital, downloadable version of your Electoral Photo Identity Card. It is valid and can be printed. The physical card may also be issued, but the e-EPIC PDF is accepted as your voter ID.

I lost my reference ID. How do I track the application?

Log in to the Voters' Services Portal with the mobile number you registered and open your applications list. If you cannot log in, contact your Electoral Registration Office or call the voter helpline 1950.

My name is missing from the voter list. What should I do?

Confirm with the electoral roll search first. If it is genuinely missing, submit Form 6 to register, or Form 8 to fix an error in an existing entry. Track the reference ID afterwards.

How long does a new voter ID take?

Timelines depend on Booth Level Officer verification and the electoral roll revision cycle. Track your reference ID for the current stage. If it stalls for a long time, use the Voter Helpline (1950) and your Electoral Registration Office.
