A person should have a voter card. A photo voter slip shall not be accepted as a stand-alone identification document for voting. However, if a person does not have a voter card but is enrolled on the electoral list, they can cast their vote if they have these documents--driving licence, service identity cards, passport, passbook, MNREGA job card, PAN card, health insurance smart card issued under the scheme of Ministry of Labour, pension document, smart card issued by RGI under NPR, official identity cards issued to MPs/MLAs or Aadhaar card.

Here is a step-by-step guide on how to check your name in the electoral roll:

A) Log on to the National Voter Services Portal's (NVSP) electoral page. One can search for their name here using two methods--entering all of your details or by entering the Electoral Photo ID Card (EPIC) number. The EPIC number is mentioned in bold letters on your identity card.

* Search using EPIC number--
i) Visit the page, ii) click on search by EPIC No., iii) enter the EPIC number, select the state from the drop-down menu, and type in the code, iv) click on search.

* Without EPIC number--
i) Visit the page, ii) click on search by details, iii) type in all details like name, gender, age, assembly constituency, etc. as asked, iv) enter code you see on captcha image, v) click on search.
If either of these methods doesn't show your name then it means your name is not on the voter list. 

B) Calling the Voter Helpline 1950 (dial the number after adding your STD code)

C) SMS <ECI> space <EPIC No> to 1950. Example - If your EPIC is 12345678 then SMS ECI 12345678 to 1950
