Errors in your Voter ID card—like spelling mistakes in your name, wrong address, or incorrect date of birth—can create problems when voting or using your card for KYC in banks, loans, and insurance. The Election Commission of India (ECI) has made it easy to fix these mistakes online through the NVSP (National Voter Service Portal) and the Voter Helpline App.
One of the most important steps in this process is uploading valid documents. Without the right proof, your correction request may get rejected. This guide will explain step-by-step how to upload documents for Voter ID correction in 2025.
