How do you change details in a voter ID card?

You can apply to change your details provided in your Voter ID card only for the specific reasons given below¹:

In case of incorrect name, age, Date of birth, etc.

If you wish to change or correct your name, photo, age, Voter ID Card Number or EPIC number, address, date of birth, gender, name of relative or type of relation in your voter ID card, you must fill Form 8 and submit it either online or physically to the Electoral Registration Officer.

In case of shifting houses within the constituency

If you are shifting your permanent place of residence within the same constituency, you must have your address changed in the electoral roll. In order to do so, you must fill Form 8A and submit it either online or physically to the Electoral Registration Officer.

In case you shift outside of your current constituency

If you are shifting your permanent residence to a place outside your constituency, you must have your name deleted from the present electoral roll or have someone file an application to remove your name for you. Once you have done this, you must re-register yourself as a new voter and check the box in Form 6 next to ‘due to shifting from another constituency’ and submit it to the Electoral Registration Officer.
