India has seen significant advancements in digitizing essential services to make life easier for its citizens. One such innovation is the ability to download your Voter ID card online. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to get your digital voter ID card, also known as e-EPIC, from the comfort of your home.
Step 1: Visit the Official Websites
Go to the Election Commission of India's official voter portal at https://voterportal.eci.gov.in or https://old.eci.gov.in/e-epic/. These portals are your gateway to accessing digital services related to voting.
Step 2: Create an Account
If you haven't already, you'll need to create an account on the NVSP (National Voters' Services Portal). Fill in the required details to complete the sign-up process.
Step 3: Enter Your Details
Once logged in, enter your EPIC (Electoral Photo ID Card) number or the Form Reference number and select your state from the dropdown menu.
Step 4: Download e-EPIC
After entering your details, an OTP (One-Time Password) will be sent to your registered mobile number. Enter the OTP to proceed. You'll then have the option to download the e-EPIC, which is a digital version of your voter ID card.
Step 5: Save and Use
Once downloaded, the e-EPIC will be available in PDF format. This digital ID can be used just like the physical voter ID card for identification and electoral purposes. It's also handy for address changes or issuing a duplicate ID card if needed.
