how can i change address in voter id online

Yes — you can usually change the address on your voter ID online by using the Election Commission’s voter services portal and submitting Form 8 for “Shifting of Residence.” The basic flow is: log in, choose the address-change option, fill in your new address, upload address proof, and submit the request.

How to do it

  1. Go to the Voters’ Services Portal.
  2. Sign in or create an account with your mobile number.
  3. Open Form 8 and select Shifting of Residence.
  4. Enter your EPIC/voter ID details and new address.
  5. Upload supporting documents for the new address.
  6. Review everything and submit the form.

Documents usually needed

  • Proof of new address, such as Aadhaar, passport, utility bill, bank passbook, rent deed, or sale deed.
  • Identity details such as your EPIC number or voter ID information.
  • Any other document requested during verification.

After submission

After you submit, you should get a reference number or acknowledgment so you can track the request later. The updated voter details are issued only after verification by the election authorities.

Important note

Do not keep more than one voter registration for different addresses, because duplicate enrollment is not allowed.

TL;DR: Use the voter portal, fill Form 8 , choose Shifting of Residence , upload address proof, and submit.
