As you all know, every 18-year-old person is eligible to vote. But all persons aged 18 or above cannot vote directly, but first, they will have to get their name included in the electoral roll. And this is called Voter Registration, after which you will get Voter ID and you can also vote. Because you will be able to vote only if your name will be included in the electoral roll and you will have a voter ID. soto get your name included in the electoral roll, you have to apply for registration of new voter. For the registration of a new voter, you can apply in two ways: Offline and Online.
To apply Offline, download Form 6 (Voter Registration Form) and then fill it up and mail to your nearest Election Branch.

If you do not want to download the form, then you can get this form from your Voter Registration Centre and after filling it you can mail it to your nearest Election Branch.
But I will recommend you that you should apply online for registration of new voter instead of applying offline because it will be very easy and also it will take less time than offline process.
In this post, we will tell you how to apply online for registration of a new voter, if you are a new voter now.
After applying for voter registration, if your application is accepted then your name will be included to the electoral roll and you will also get your Voter ID Card. A voter ID card is one of the most important documents and it is considered an Identity Card. If you are 18 years old or if you have changed your Constituency, then you can apply for registration of new voter. After applying for the new voter registration, when your application is approved, you will get your Voter ID Card (Identity Card).
So if you want to get your voter ID Card then you have to apply for voter registration. After applying for voter registration, it takes about one to two months to accept your application or to be rejected. Your application goes through a lengthy process when you apply for voter registration, your form is submitted to the NSVP after which the BLO is appointed who comes to you to verify your documents.
