I have applied for Voter ID card on 01.05.2020, it is approved long back, but I havent got my card yet. When will I get the card? EPIC number is generated but not able to print also. Error is "currently e-epic download facility is available for the electors newly registered after nov.2020" If I ask helpline they are asking for Reference Id. Number. As EPIC is generated, Ref. Id number is not found. I forgot the number. How to get the card?

Contact the Booth Level Officer of the concerned booth and enquire about the status. Or enquire in the Election section of the Taluk Office within the limits of that Taluk.

Check whether your name is there on the Voters List

To vote in the election, you need to make sure your name is on the voter list for you to vote.

If there is a delay in getting the Voter ID Card, you can approach the Village Office/ Local Self Government Departments/ Booth Level Officer/ Important representative of the Political Party. They will have the recently published Electoral Roll/ Voter List. You can search it manually to find out if the name is there in the voter's list. Just check the voter list of your ward or polling station.

If this is not possible, then you can use the Voter Helpline app. You can take a PDF printout of the voter list online by using the Voter Helpline app. Search there to find out if the name is there in the voter's list.

Apart from this, by entering the requested information in the search option of the Voter Service Portal, one can check whether the name is in the voter list.

What if my name is there in the Voter List but does not have a Voter ID

The Election Commission of India allows people whose names are there in the voter list but do not have voter ID also to vote in the election. A few days before the election, the Election Commission of India provides a list of alternate documents you can use to vote in the election. Normally, it includes documents such as Passport, Driving License, etc. The exact set of documents will be known a few days before the election. So, if you have any of those documents and your name is on the voter list, you can cast your vote.
