How to Vote: The Voting Process in India

Voting is quick and simple. Here is what to do on polling day so your vote counts in the upcoming elections.

Before polling day

  • Confirm your name in the voter list at electoralsearch.eci.gov.in.
  • Note your polling booth and Part number (on the search result or your voter slip).

On polling day

  1. Carry your Voter ID (EPIC) or an approved alternative photo ID.
  2. Reach your assigned polling booth during polling hours.
  3. The first polling officer verifies your name in the electoral roll.
  4. The second officer inks your finger and issues a slip.
  5. At the EVM, press the blue button next to your chosen candidate.
  6. Confirm your vote on the VVPAT slip shown for seven seconds.

Accepted ID (if not carrying EPIC)

Aadhaar, passport, driving licence, PAN card, MGNREGA job card, bank passbook with photo, or other IDs notified by the Election Commission.

हिंदी में जानकारी

मतदान केंद्र पर पहचान की जाँच होती है, उँगली पर स्याही लगती है, पर्ची दी जाती है और फिर EVM पर अपने उम्मीदवार के सामने वाला बटन दबाना होता है। VVPAT पर्ची सात सेकंड तक दिखती है, जिससे आप अपना वोट सत्यापित कर सकते हैं।

यदि कोई भी उम्मीदवार उपयुक्त न लगे तो सूची के अंत में NOTA का विकल्प रहता है।
