I have shifted recently to Karnataka from my home state where I was registered as a voter. How can I get a new Voter ID Card at Karnataka?

Please get your name deleted from the previous address, which will facilitate your registration in Karnataka. After that please get enrolled by filling up form-6 and depositing the same along with the proof of deletion in the office of Sub-divisional Magistrates (SDM). Your address can be changed on the back side of the Card as the same card will remain valid. 

As you have moved from one state to another, your assembly constituency got changed. So you need to update your assembly constituency in the Voter ID card. Follow the below steps to update your assembly constituency.
