Now, you can change address on your voter card online

You can also make corrections in electoral roll and feed your Aadhaar & mobile numbers

Pune resident Srirupa Ray, 28, is a media professional. But despite becoming eligible to vote 10 years ago, she has never exercised her franchise. The reason: she finds the voter registration process cumbersome and time-consuming.

Ray and many others who do not vote because they have not yet included their names in the voter list can enrol themselves with the click of a mouse. All they need to do is visit http://www.nvsp.in/.

The National Voter Service Portal (NVSP), which was launched in January this year, provides single-window services to the electors. Through the website, an Indian citizen can search his name in the National Electoral Roll by entering some basic details, apply for a new registration and request for modification in personal details, such as name and postal address. 

Besides, you can view the details of your polling booth, assembly or parliamentary constituencies. The website allows you to locate your polling station on the map and request for transposition within a constituency. The website also accepts application for inclusion of name in electoral roll by an overseas elector.

Apart from that, an elector can also link his Aadhaar card number and cellphone number to his election ID card. One can even request for the deletion of duplicate entries in the electoral roll.
