Voter ID card corrections online: Steps to verify your details online

The Election Commission has launched a mega drive to ensure that the people have correct details on their Voter ID cards throughout the country. The poll panels are also making verification exercise easy for the voters so that they ensure their details on their voter ID cards and they do not face any problem in casting their votes. The Electoral Verification Programme (EVP) will be continued till October 15, 2019 for helping people update their informations on their Voter ID cards.

If you don't have much time to visit the concerned Electoral Registration Officer (ERO) and Assistant Electoral Registration Officers (AEROs) at authorised centres, then you can also correct anything wrong on your Voter ID card online to avoid future problems.

The Election Commission of India said, “The main aim of the programme is to improve the health of Electoral rolls and to provide better electoral services to citizens and increase the level of Communication between voters and the Commission. The program has been launched at all Levels starting from the State/UT Headquarters by 32 CEOs, District level by about 700 DEOs and at around 1 million Polling Stations by BLOs/EROs and will continue from September 1, 2019 to October 15, 2019".
