Voting is an important responsibility of each and every citizen. Though many pay no heed to this right, many have realised the difference one vote can make. Every vote counts and contributes towards shaping the destiny of this country.
In order to vote, citizens must be above the age of 18 years and need a Voter ID card. Learn more on how to get a Voter ID card, track its status and make corrections if needed.
In order to be eligible for a Voter ID, you need to be eligible to vote.
An EPIC is an Electoral Photo Identity Card that enables eligible voters to cast their vote. To get a card, there are online as well as offline methods available.
To apply for your Voter ID offline, you can follow this process in Tripura:
Revisions of the Electoral Roll are held on an annual basis. During this time, an enumerator may visit your house to collect data on the number of voters in your household. You will be required to provide your details if you are not already included in the roll. The person will provide you with a record of enumeration which is your acknowledgement slip. A draft roll will be published at designated locations or at the ERO's office. You can check if your name has been included there.
After you have applied for your Voter ID, it is important to check that your name is included in the electoral roll.
Tracking Voter ID Status Online

A Voter ID card is valid for a lifetime. There is no need to renew the card, however, people do need replacement cards in case of theft, loss or normal wear and tear.
On several occasions, due to high volumes of cards issued, there may be errors made on your EPIC card. In some cases it may be the fault of the applicant, in others it may be the fault of the office. But the getting the details corrected is important as your Voter ID allows you to vote and it also serves as a widely accepted proof of age, identity and address.
