how to find my voter id number in 2002

If you’re trying to find your voter ID (EPIC) number as it existed in 2002 in India, the official way is to search the 2002/2003 Voter List (Last SIR) on the Election Commission of India’s portal, not by looking at a 2002 card directly (since those cards may be lost or damaged).

Quick answer

To find your 2002 voter ID details (name entry, Part No., Serial No., and sometimes old EPIC number):

  1. Go to the Election Commission of India Voters Portal :
    https://voters.eci.gov.in (or via https://www.eci.gov.in → Electors section).
  1. Look for the service:
    “Search your name in Last SIR” or “Search in SIR 2002”.
  1. Enter:
    • Your State
    • Your District
    • Your Assembly Constituency (if you know it)
    • Your Name (as it might have appeared in 2002)
    • Optionally: Relative’s name (father/mother/husband) and age.
  1. From the result, you will see:
    • AC No. (Assembly Constituency)
    • Part No. (polling station list number)
    • Serial No. (your position in that list)
      These are the “2002 voter ID numbers” used in current SIR forms.

If you still have an old physical voter ID card from around 2002 , the EPIC number is printed on it: typically 3 letters + 7 digits (e.g., ABC1234567) on the front side, near your photo or name.

Step-by-step online method (2002 list)

Step 1: Open the correct portal

  • Visit:
    https://voters.eci.gov.in or
    https://www.eci.gov.in → click Electors.

Step 2: Choose “Search in Last SIR (2002)”

  • On the Electors page, look for:
    • “Search your name in Last SIR”
    • or “Search in SIR 2002”.

Step 3: Fill in your details

You will need to enter:

  • State – where you were registered in 2002.
  • District – as per 2002 records.
  • Assembly Constituency – if known.
  • Polling Station – if known.
  • Elector’s Name – as it appeared in 2002 (spelling may differ slightly).
  • Relative Type – e.g., Father / Mother / Husband.
  • Relative’s Name.
  • Age (as in 2002, if asked).
  • Captcha code.

Step 4: Get your 2002 Part No. and Serial No.

After searching, the system shows:

  • AC No.
  • Part No.
  • Serial No.

These are the numbers you must fill in SIR/Enumeration forms when they ask for “Part No. and Serial No. from Last SIR (2002)”.

Note: This search does not always show your old EPIC number directly, but it redisposes your 2002 voter record with Part and Serial numbers, which is what most current forms require.

If you were not a voter in 2002

If you were under 18 in 2002:

  • You must provide the Part No. and Serial No. of your parent/guardian from the 2002 list to establish legacy linkage.
  • Use the same “Search in Last SIR” tool, but search for your father’s or mother’s name instead of yours.

Alternative: Mobile apps

There are third-party apps like “Voter List 2002 2003 2005 Info” on Google Play that let you:

  • Search voter details in the 2002/2003/2005 electoral roll.
  • Find Part No. and Serial No. using name and other details.

These can be faster but are not official ECI apps; for official purposes, prefer the ECI portal itself.

Summary of what you’re actually finding

When people ask “how to find my voter ID number in 2002,” they usually need:

  • Your 2002 voter entry details : Part No. and Serial No. (used in current SIR forms).
  • Or, if you still have the old card, the EPIC number printed on it.

The official method is:

Use the “Search your name in Last SIR” service on the ECI Voters Portal, enter your 2002 details, and extract the Part No. and Serial No. from the result.
