Step 1: Where to Check Your Status

You can search and verify your details through any of the following portals:

• Election Commission of India Portal:voters.eci.gov.in
• Local BLO Office: Check the physical copy displayed by your local Booth Level Officer.

Step 2: The 5-Point Verification Checklist

When viewing your record, check for accuracy across these five fields:

1. Name & Relative’s Name: Is the spelling completely accurate?
2. EPIC (Voter ID) Number: Does it match your existing card?
3. Demographics: Are your age/date of birth and gender correct?
4. Polling Station & Address: Is your designated booth within your local area?
5. Photograph: Is your image clear, updated, and correctly assigned?

     Submit Form 6                     Submit Form 8
  (Inclusion of Name)              (Correction / Updating)

• If your name was present in 2025 but missing now:
  Use the ASDD (Absent / Shifted / Dead / Duplicate) verification tool on the Maharashtra CEO portal to see why your name was flagged or excluded.
• If you need to correct existing details:
  File Form 8 online with updated supporting documents.
• If you are enrolling fresh or restoring an omitted name:
  File Form 6 online along with your proof of address and identity.

Step 4: Protect Your Whole Family

Don’t stop after checking your own profile. Check every member of your household, paying extra attention to:

• Senior citizens who may have missed in-person BLO rounds.
• Young adults/students or family members working away from home.
• Anyone whose verification was incomplete during earlier ground visits.

• Have documents on hand: Keep proof of address, proof of birth, a passport-size photo, and your previous voter record/EPIC handy for quick online submission.
