As Delhi Assembly elections are going to be held on February 5, voters in the capital are all set to exercise their democratic right. However, there may be some of the voters, who might have changed their address recently, and would need to update their address on the voter ID in order to cast their vote.
How to do that? Here is a short explainer on how to change your address on the voter ID online.
Below are the steps to change the address on your voter ID card:
1. Register yourself first by visiting the National Voters Services Portal at https://voters.eci.gov.in/
2. Click on the form 'Shifting of residence/correction of entries in existing electoral roll/replacement of EPIC/marking of PwD'. Type your voter ID card number and complete a short verification process.
3. Once the verification process is done, pick either one of these options: 'shifted outside Assembly Constituency' or 'shifted within Assembly Constituency', according to your case.
4. Submit your new address with an image and other required documents. Verify all details in the form before submitting it.
Once done, a reference ID will be generated for tracking the status of the application.
