Quick answer: West Bengal voters can check their name, download the e-EPIC and request corrections on the ECI Voters’ Service Portal or the Voter Helpline app. The national voter helpline is 1950. The official card is free. You can also print your e-EPIC on PVC as a private convenience copy.
West Bengal is where we receive the most voter card print requests, usually because the paper or laminated card has worn out, or because a digital e-EPIC is easier to carry than a folded paper. This guide explains the steps. If you are new, read what a Voter ID (EPIC) card is.
Check your name in the West Bengal electoral roll
Search with your EPIC number, or with your name, relative’s name, age and district, using the ECI electoral search. The Chief Electoral Officer, West Bengal also publishes roll information. If your name is missing, apply with Form 6 through the portal, the Voter Helpline app or your Booth Level Officer.
Download the e-EPIC
Log in with your registered mobile number, enter your EPIC number and verify the OTP to get the PDF. If the OTP does not arrive, your mobile number may not be linked to your EPIC. Our e-EPIC guide explains what to do.
Spelling and detail corrections
A common problem is a name written differently in Bengali and English, or a relation name that does not match other documents. Use Form 8 to correct details. See Forms 6, 6B, 7 and 8 explained. We print only what your file shows, so correct the roll first and then download a fresh e-EPIC.
Lost or damaged card
Download the e-EPIC again and apply for a replacement with Form 8 if you need a new physical card. See the lost voter ID guide.
Get your West Bengal e-EPIC on PVC
Upload your e-EPIC PDF on our West Bengal Voter ID (e-EPIC) PVC card page, or use the general Voter ID (EPIC) PVC card print. The card is CR80 size (85.6 × 54 mm), printed in about 72 hours and shipped by Speed Post, with tracking and card photos sent on WhatsApp. It is a private copy, not an official card; see is a PVC voter card valid? and our size and file tips.
