How To Check Voter List By Polling Booth

Elections are the foundation of democracy, and every eligible citizen must ensure their name is correctly included in the voter list (electoral roll). Many people face confusion about their polling booth or worry that their name is missing on voting day. To solve this, the Election Commission of India (ECI) provides both online and offline ways to check the voter list booth-wise.

This guide explains step by step how to check the voter list by polling booth, download the electoral roll, and confirm your details before election day.

Why You Should Check the Voter List Before Elections

Ensures your name is correctly included in the electoral roll.
Confirms your polling booth location to avoid last-minute confusion.
Prevents rejection at the polling station due to missing or wrong details.
Helps you spot errors in your name, address, or age in advance.

Method 1: Check Online via NVSP & Electoral Search Portal

The Election Commission provides two official websites:

Voters’ Services Portal (NVSP): https://voters.eci.gov.in
Electoral Search Portal: https://electoralsearch.eci.gov.in

Steps:

Go to the Electoral Search Portal.
Click on Search in Electoral Roll.
Enter your EPIC number (Voter ID number) OR fill in details like Name, Father’s/Spouse’s Name, Date of Birth, and State.
Submit the form → The system will display your Polling Booth name, address, and voter details.
You can also download the booth-wise voter list PDF if available.

👉 This is the fastest method to know your polling booth details in India.

Method 2: Use the Voter Helpline Mobile App

The Voter Helpline App, launched by the Election Commission of India, makes it easy to check your voter details on your phone.

📲 Available on Google Play Store (Android) and App Store (iOS).

Steps:

Download the Voter Helpline App.
Open the app → Select Search in Electoral Roll.
Enter your EPIC number or personal details.
Your polling booth name and part number will be shown instantly.
The app also lets you check the contact details of your Booth Level Officer (BLO).

👉 This is the most convenient method for smartphone users.

Method 3: State CEO Websites (Booth-Wise Voter List PDFs)

Every state in India has a Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) website. These sites allow you to:

Search for your name in the electoral roll.
Download booth-wise voter list PDFs (sometimes with photos for easy identification).

Steps:

Visit your State CEO website (for example: CEO Karnataka, CEO Haryana, CEO Telangana, etc.).
Select District → Assembly Constituency → Booth/Part Number.
Download the PDF voter list for your booth.

👉 These PDFs usually include voter names, EPIC numbers, house numbers, and serial numbers.

Method 4: Offline Method – Booth Level Officer (BLO)

If you are not comfortable online, you can check your voter list offline:

Visit your local Booth Level Officer (BLO) office or election office.
Ask for the booth-wise printed electoral roll.
Before elections, BLOs also visit households to distribute voter slips or update details.
You can also call the 1950 Voter Helpline (toll-free) for assistance.

👉 This method is useful for senior citizens or voters in rural areas.
