How to get yourself listed on Voter’s list :-

Although the Election Commission accepts new enrolment forms upto 15 days prior to the last day of filing of candidate nominations, officials suggest that eligible voters should get themselves registered as soon as possible.

“Those who are registered and have the Voter identity card should check their names in the voters’ list either online, by calling the helpline, or messaging the Voter ID on our number.”
