How to Correct Errors in Your Voter ID (Name, Photo & Address)

Rectifying Electoral Identification Errors

Having an accurate Voter ID (EPIC) is essential not only for casting your vote without obstruction but also for establishing civic identity. If your name is misspelled, your photo is unreadable, or your address has changed, here is the official method to correct it.

Key Forms for Electoral Corrections * **Form 8:** Used for shifting of residence, correction of entries in existing electoral roll, replacement of EPIC, and marking of PwD (Persons with Disabilities). * **Form 6:** Exclusively for new registration of voters. * **Form 7:** Used for objection to proposed inclusion or for deletion of name in existing electoral roll.
