Do you remember the first time you voted?

Do you also remember how did you get your voter ID card made?

I distinctly remember mine.

I had to go to a Municipal Corporation office at 9 AM. Now I decided to reach there at 8:30 AM itself as I thought if I reached early, I would be able to skip the queue and waiting time. Little did I know - everyone else thought the same as me. The moment I reached there, I saw so many people already lined up in queues with all the documents waiting for their turn to apply for their voter ID cards.

I had to wait for some 2 odd hours for my turn.

I am sure a lot would have a similar story as mine.

But to make sure that such stories become a thing of the past, the Election Commission of India has launched this app called Voter Helpline. You can apply for your voter ID card directly from this app. You can download it from the PlayStore/ AppStore.

All you need to do is:
1. Download the app
2. Go to Voter Registration option
3. Select Form 6
4. Now you have to add your basic details like name, address, ID proof, photo etc. and confirm the details.

Once you have applied, you will be given a tracking number through which you can track the status of your voter ID card.

Not just this, if you want to change any of your details like name, address, date of birth, etc, then you can do that as well from this app. Instead of Form 6, you just need to select Form 8 and enter the details as asked.


Share this with all the first-time voters you know and enable them to be part of the biggest festival of democracy!
