Alternatively, you can submit a filled in Form - 6 to the Electoral Registration Officer (ERO) of your Assembly Constituency. ERO contact details for your constituency can be searched here.

Q. Does the possession of a voter ID card entitle me to vote?

A.

No. Mere possession of voter ID card DOES NOT entitle you to vote.

Q. Is a voter ID card essential for voting?

A.

No. This is a very commonly held myth! Only 2 things are mandatory for voting:

• Your name should be there in the list of registered voters i.e. in electoral roll or voter list of your polling booth
• You should carry an approved identity proof document.

If you are issued with a voter ID card, you have to compulsorily carry it on the day of voting as an identity proof. If you do not possess a voter ID card, you can carry any one of the approved identity proof documents on Election Day.
