The Election Commission of India (ECI) has been working to make voter records more accurate and transparent. One of the most important steps in this direction is linking your Aadhaar card with your Voter ID.
This process helps to clean up duplicate voter entries, ensures fair elections, and makes it easier for citizens to update their voter information in the future. The good news is that the process is now quick and simple — you can do it online through the NVSP portal or the Voter Helpline App.
