WHAT IS A VOTER LIST?

A voter list is a thorough record of all eligible voters living in a specific district or ward. The Election Commission of India maintains and updates this list via its regional offices. The voter list is essential for allowing individuals to vote. If your name is on the voter registration list, you can vote without a Voter ID card by producing any legal government-issued evidence of identity.

The Voter list includes important information such as the name, age, gender, father’s/husband’s name, address, and serial number of eligible voters or voter ID card applicants. It is prepared far ahead of the election and made available to all.

The Voter List also includes information about each voter’s election district and polling station. Eligible voters and first-time applicants can access the voter list online at the official NVSP website or in person at an election booth.
