To check your EPIC number in the voter list, you do not actually “search the voter list to get the EPIC number” — instead, you search the electoral roll using your details (name, age, etc.) and the EPIC number will be shown in the result , or you can verify your voter details by entering your existing EPIC number on the Election Commission’s portals.

Below are the practical, official ways to do this as of 2026.

1. If you already have your EPIC number and want to check it in the voter

list

This is the most common use: you want to confirm whether your name is still in the voter list using your EPIC (Voter ID) number.

Steps (Online via Electoral Search Portal)

  1. Go to the official Electoral Search portal:
    [https://electoralsearch.eci.gov.in/5]
  1. On the landing page, choose:
    • “Search by EPIC No” (or similar wording like “Electoral Search by EPIC”).
  1. Enter:
    • Your EPIC number (Voter ID number),
    • Your State ,
    • The captcha shown on the screen.
  1. Click Search.
    • If your EPIC is valid and your name is in the list, your details will appear: name, age, address, polling station, part number, etc.
 * If you get “Not Found” or “Details Not Available”, it usually means your name is not currently in the electoral roll under that EPIC, even if you have a physical card.

You can now interpret this as: your EPIC number is “checked in the voter list” and your status is confirmed.

2. If you do not have your EPIC number and want to find it from the voter

list

Here you search by your personal details, and the system displays your EPIC number.

Steps (via National Voters’ Service Portal / Voter Portal)

  1. Visit one of these official portals:
  1. Click on “Search Your Name in Voter List” or “Search in Electoral Roll”.
  1. Choose one of these options:
    • Search by Details (name, age, state, district, etc.),
    • Or Search by Mobile (if your mobile is registered with the electoral roll).
  1. Select:
    • Your State ,
    • Preferred Language ,
    • Fill in required details (name, father’s/husband’s name, age, district, etc.), and enter the captcha.
  1. Click Search.
    • The result page will show your voter details, including a column labeled “EPIC Number” or “Voter ID Number”.
 * This is your EPIC number as per the voter list.

You can then use this EPIC number for:

  • Downloading e-EPIC,
  • Updating details,
  • Checking polling station, etc.

3. Quick comparison of the two approaches

If you… Use this method What you get
Have your EPIC number and want to verify you are in the voter list Electoral Search by EPIC (https://electoralsearch.eci.gov.in/) Confirms whether your name exists in the list and shows full voter details
Do not have your EPIC number and want to find it from the voter list Search in Electoral Roll by Details/Mobile (NVSP / Voter Portal / Voter Service Portal) Shows your voter details including your EPIC number

4. Using the Voter Helpline Mobile App (optional)

You can also do both tasks via the Voter Helpline App :

  • Install the app from:
    • Android: Play Store (Voter Helpline – ECI)
    • iOS: Apple App Store (Voter Helpline)
  • Use the “Search in Electoral Roll” feature to find your EPIC by details.
  • Use “Search by EPIC” to verify your presence in the voter list.

5. Important points to remember

  • EPIC number is printed on the front side of your voter ID card.
  • If your EPIC shows “Not Found” in the electoral search, it may mean:
    • Your name was removed from the list,
    • Or there is a mismatch in spelling/state/district.
  • In such cases, you may need to:
    • Apply for new registration (Form 6),
    • Or correct/update entries (Form 8) at your ERO office.
  • Always use the official ECI portals (ECI, NVSP, Voter Portal, Voter Service Portal) to avoid fake websites.
