Quick answer: Maharashtra voters can check the electoral roll, download the e-EPIC and apply for corrections on the ECI Voters’ Service Portal or the Voter Helpline app. The Chief Electoral Officer, Maharashtra lists the toll-free helpline 1800-22-1950, and the national helpline is 1950. The official card is free; a PVC print is an optional private copy.
Whether you live in Mumbai, Pune, Nagpur, Yavatmal or a village in between, the voter ID process is the same national system, run through the state CEO office and your local Booth Level Officer (BLO). This guide covers the common situations. For the basics, read what a Voter ID (EPIC) card is.
Check your name in the Maharashtra roll
Search with your EPIC number, or with your name, relative’s name, age and district, on the ECI’s official electoral search. The Chief Electoral Officer, Maharashtra also offers a Voter Helpline app and a chat service. If your name is missing, you need Form 6.
Download your e-EPIC
Log in to the Voters’ Service Portal or the Voter Helpline app with your registered mobile number, choose e-EPIC download, enter your EPIC number and verify with the OTP. Follow our step-by-step e-EPIC guide if the mobile number is not linked.
Corrections, address change and shifting cities
Many Maharashtra voters move between cities for work. When you shift to a new address or constituency, or need a spelling or age fix, use Form 8. Our guide to Forms 6, 6B, 7 and 8 explains which one to file. Marathi and English name spellings should match your other records to avoid later mismatches.
Lost your card?
Download the e-EPIC again immediately, and apply for a replacement card if you need the physical one. See our lost voter ID guide.
