Having your name in the voter list is the first step to exercising your voting rights on election day. For the Bihar elections, the Election Commission has released a new draft voter list.
Many names have been removed this time, so it’s important to check if your name is still on the list. Here’s how you can easily verify your name from home using your mobile or laptop.
Why Check Your Name in the Voter List?
If your name is missing, you won’t be able to vote—even if you have a voter ID card. So, check your details as soon as the final list is out to make corrections on time.
Three Ways to Check Your Name
Using your Voter ID (EPIC) number
By entering your personal details (name, age, district, area)
Through your mobile number linked with your voter ID
Choose the method that’s easiest for you and stay updated.
