How To Change Constituency In Voter ID (2025 Guide)

If you’ve recently moved to a new home, city, or state, your voter ID may still be registered in your old constituency. This means on election day, your name will appear in the wrong electoral roll, and you won’t be able to vote at your new location.
To fix this, the Election Commission of India (ECI) allows you to update your address and constituency using Form 8. The process can be done easily online via the NVSP portal or your State CEO website.
This 2025 guide explains step by step how to transfer your voter ID to a new constituency, documents required, and common FAQs.
