The reference number for a voter ID application is usually found in the acknowledgement you get after submitting the form, or in the status-tracking section of the voter services portal/app where your applied forms are listed.

How to find it

  1. Open the voter services portal or app and log in with your registered mobile number.
  1. Go to the application-tracking area, then open your applied forms.
  1. Select the form you submitted; the reference number should appear there.
  1. If you still have the SMS or acknowledgement slip from when you applied, check that too because it often contains the reference number.

If you forgot it

  • Check your registered mobile messages first.
  • Look for the acknowledgement received after Form 6 or correction submission.
  • If the form is already visible in your account, open it and read the reference number from the application details.
  • If none of that works, contact your local BLO or election office for help.

What it is used for

The reference number is mainly used to track your voter ID application status and, in some cases, to download e-EPIC or check updates on submitted forms.
