Each voter in India is designated a specific polling station, the location where they will cast their ballot during elections. A voter can quickly find the polling station and voter information using their phone or computer in just a few minutes.
Here is a step-to-step guide to find your polling station and name in the voter list.
How to find your polling booth?
1. The National Voter Services Portal (NVSP)
The National Voter Services Portal (NVSP) by the Election Commission of India (ECI) is a viable option for finding your voter-related information. Accessible at www.nvsp.in, this portal is your go-to for various voter-related services.
NVSP helps you to:
Search Your Name in the Voter List:
– The NVSP allows voters to check if their names are included in the electoral roll.
– Users can search for their names using different identifiers, including their Voter ID (Electoral Photo Identity Card – EPIC) number or personal details like name, father’s/husband’s name, age and district.
Get Polling Station Details:
– The portal provides information about the polling station assigned to each voter. This includes the name and address of the polling booth.
– In some cases, users may also find a map link to help them locate their polling station easily.
Download Digital Voter Slips:
– Voters can download their digital voter slips from the NVSP, which serve as proof of their eligibility to vote. This slip contains essential details like the voter’s name, polling station and voter ID number.
How to Use the NVSP
Using the NVSP is straightforward:
1. Visit the NVSP Website: Go to nvsp.in.

2. Voter Helpline App
The Election Commission of India also offers the Voter Helpline App, available on both Android and iOS platforms. This mobile app extends the services provided by the NVSP and helps you to:
– Find Polling Booth Location: Users can view their polling booth location on a map.

3. State Election Websites
In addition to the NVSP, many States have their own election portals. These State-specific websites allow voters to access local voter information and polling booth details. They often offer services in local languages as well.
How to check name in voters’ list?
First-time voters should check the electoral rolls to ensure their names are listed as eligible voters in their constituency. This can be done by visiting the Election Commission website (https://electoralsearch.eci.gov.in/). Citizens can look up their names using their Voter ID number (Elector’s Photo Identification Card number). Additionally, mobile numbers, personal details such as name, date of birth, and relatives’ information from the constituency can be used to search the electoral roll for names.
