Lok Sabha Elections 2024: How to check your name in voters' list

The general election will be held in seven phases from April 19 to June 1 and the results will be declared on June 4.

With the 18th Lok Sabha Elections commencing on April 19,  first-time voters must ensure their names are on the electoral rolls.

If you're gearing up to cast your vote for the first time, here's a simple guide on how to check if your name is on the voter list for your constituency:

1. Visit the Election Commission Website: The first step is to visit the official website of the Election Commission. You can easily find it by searching online.

2. Navigate to the Elector Menu: Once on the Election Commission website's homepage, look for the Elector menu. This is where you'll find options related to voter registration and checking your name in the electoral roll.

3. Search for Your Name: In the elector menu, you'll see an option to "Search your name in the electoral roll." Click on this option to proceed.

4. Use Your Voter ID Number (EPIC): If you have your Voter ID number (also known as EPIC) handy, enter it in the designated space. The website will search for your name in the voter list based on this.

5. Search by Personal Details: If you don't have your Voter ID number, don't worry. You can still search for your name using other personal details such as your mobile number, name, date of birth, and information about your relatives in the constituency.

6. Input Required Information: If you opt for the search by personal details option, you'll need to provide specific information, such as your date of birth, district, assembly area, and details about a relative. This helps the website narrow down the search and find your name accurately.

7. Review the Results: Once you've entered the necessary information, the website will display whether your name is on the voter list for your constituency. Take note of the information provided for future reference.

8. Find Your Polling Station: If your name is on the voter list, you can also use your EPIC number to find your polling station and other important details. This ensures you're well-prepared for voting day.

By following these steps, first-time voters can check if their names are on the voter list and ensure they're ready to exercise their democratic rights in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. Remember, every vote counts, so make sure your voice is heard!
