Steps to Update or Correct Your Voter Card

Follow these steps to update or correct your voter card:

1. Visit the Voters’ Services Portal
   Go to voters.eci.gov.in (the updated portal replacing nvsp.in).

2. Log In
   Sign in using your mobile number, email, and password. If not registered, sign up and verify with an OTP.

3. Select Form 8
   Choose “Fill Form 8” under “Correction of entries in electoral roll” or “Shifting of residence.” This form is used for corrections, updates, or constituency changes.

4. Enter Details

   • Proof of address (Aadhaar, utility bill)

   • Marriage certificate (for name change, if applicable)

   • Recent passport-size photo (if updating the photo)

6. Submit Application
   Review and submit the form. You’ll receive a reference ID to track your application.

7. Verification Process
   An Electoral Registration Officer (ERO) will verify your request, which may involve a field visit. This takes 15–30 days.

8. Receive Updated Voter Card
   Once approved, your updated voter card will be sent by post, or you can download the e-EPIC from the portal.
