The Basics

Who conducts what elections ? Where all can I exercise my rights ?

Back to Main Menu

Do I need to register separately for General, State and Local Elections? Election Commission of India (ECI) conducts : # The General / Union elections (also called Lok Sabha elections) # The State Elections (also called Vidhan Sabha Elections) State Election Commission (SEC) conducts : # Local Body elections (elections to your Municipal Corporation / Panchayats) ECI prepares the electoral rolls for General and State Elections. SEC prepares the electoral rolls for local elections. In most states, you DO NOT need to register separately for local elections; the State Election Commission uses the same electoral rolls prepared under the guidance of ECI. However, some states such as Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Kerala require citizens to register separately for the local body elections. To check specific rules for your city, please visit the website of your State Election Commission. Back to Main Menu

When can I Register ? Can I register around the year ?

You can submit your voter registration form at any time during the year. However : # Election Commission of India (ECI) does not do continuous updates of voter list # Your inclusion in the voter list may not reflect immediately. # It is most convenient to register when the voter lists are being revised by ECI. # Normally happens in last quarter of the year (Oct - Dec), or before any election. If there is an upcoming election, registration stops normally 10 days before the final date of accepting candidate nominations.

If I submit, is it all done ?

Not necessarily. Your name might still not get included in voter list. This can be due to either : 1. Errors in filling out the registration form or partially filled form 2. Eligibility criteria found to be invalid such as age, time duration of stay, citizenship status etc. 3. Misplacement of your registration form by election authorities. After you submit your form, the election administration system needs to work to approve your registration and get your name included on your city's voter list. Various limitations exist. High reliance on manual work. # In such case (not in voters list yet), you need to re-apply as a new voter. # In there are errors in the voter list : You need to apply for correction of your details in voter list. You can do the same through our online registration engine. Back to Main Menu

When & Who does address verification ?

Normally, address verification takes place :: # Within two weeks of submission of voter registration form. # Done by your Booth Level Officer (BLO).

BLO's are appointed by the Electoral Registration Officer (ERO) for each polling booth within a assembly constituency(AC).
