You will get new voter ID from the Election Commission when you apply for a new voter ID or you apply for making any changes to the existing voter ID or you apply for a new one after it has been lost or you apply to make correction in existing voter id card. It is being sent by post.

All the voter ID applications received at Taluk Offices are sent in bulk to their respective center for printing Voter ID cards. It depends on how fast the respective center prints the card. So, the exact time to receive the Voter ID card may vary. As it is election time, the number of voter id card to print will be huge. So, you can expect a delay.

Irrespective of it, you need to make sure your name is in the voter list for you to vote.

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.
