To find out the polling booth at which you are to cast your vote, you can use three different methods on the Election Commision’s (EC) website electoralsearch.eci.gov.in.
Using the Election Photo Identity Card (EPIC) number from your voter-ID card, you can simply enter the EPIC code, state, captcha and click on ‘Search’. The booth details will be displayed on the screen.
You can also search for your polling booth ‘By Details’. Under this, you have to enter personal details like Name, Relative’s name, date of birth, gender and district, as printed on your voter-ID card. Once you enter all these details and click on ‘Search’, your polling booth details will appear on the screen.
Another way is to search for your polling booth ‘By Mobile’. Upon entering your state and mobile number, an OTP will be generated. Once you enter that, your polling booth details will be displayed on the screen.
What is EPIC number?
Registered voters receive an Election Photo Identity Card, also known as a Voter ID card. This card contains a unique 10-digit alphanumeric code assigned by the Election Commission of India as proof of registration.
You’ll find the EPIC code printed on the front of your Voter ID card. Alternatively, you can look it up on the National Voters’ Service Portal (NVSP).
