Ensuring the accuracy of voter records is a top priority for the Election Commission of India (ECI). To strengthen transparency and eliminate duplicate entries, citizens can now link their Aadhaar number with their Voter ID through the NVSP portal or the Voter Helpline app. This step not only keeps your voter details updated but also ensures fairer elections.

Linking creates a more reliable electoral roll, helping the Election Commission maintain credibility. - Convenient Updates
Future corrections or updates become simpler when Aadhaar is linked as an identity proof. - Boosts Voter Confidence
Citizens gain confidence knowing their details are accurate and safeguarded in the system.
Documents Required
To link Aadhaar with your Voter ID, you’ll need:
- Aadhaar card number (12-digit UID).
