Turning 18 means you can vote. Here is everything a first-time voter needs to get on the electoral roll and cast their first vote.

  3. Submit and track your application with the reference ID.
  4. Once approved, download your e-EPIC and note your polling booth.

On election day

Carry your Voter ID (or an approved photo ID), go to your booth, and cast your vote on the EVM — confirming it on the VVPAT slip.
