If you wish to vote in the 2019 general election or any state election, it is mandatory to have your name on the electoral roll. In addition, it is also necessary to have a voter ID card issued by the Election Commission. Keep in mind that just having a voter card isn’t enough, so know if your name is on the voter list or not…

In India, the correct name of the people is not always mentioned on the voter card. We have seen many such voter cards with the name misspelled. In this case, the result is sometimes zero when the correct name is entered in the search. So we recommend that you check this using the EPIC number and not by name. This way you avoid questionable results.
