Have you applied for inclusion in the voter list for the first time? And are you waiting for the Elector Photo Identity Card (EPIC) from the booth level officer or are you trying unsuccessfully at the e-Seva Kendra? You can get it soon by post from Election Commission of India (ECI).
During a talk, Chief Electoral Officer Satyavrat Sahu said: “For the first time voters do not need to wait for EPIC from BLO or apply for EPIC through e-seva centers. They will receive them by post. The CEO’s statement is a big relief for those in e-seva centers, who are hoping to get their EPIC as soon as possible. Hindu Last week visited several e-seva centers, where voters for the first time came without realizing that they might not get the cards from there for the first time.
Some first-time voters have already received cards by post. P. of Anna Nagar West. Nigamanth said: “When I applied for an EPIC, I was told that I would be informed about the card by February, but I was not told that I would receive it by post.” So when I got a post from ECI, I did not realize that it was EPIC until I opened the envelope. “
Also, those wishing to replace their damaged or lost EPIC will not have to go through a laborious process.
“ECI is in the process of commissioning a system in which those who have lost EPIC want and want a replacement, who will be able to apply for them online without going through a lengthy process, and it will reach them by post.” said. Such voters will have to fill Form 001 and obtain the signature of the concerned Deputy Tehsildar (Election) before submitting to obtain a duplicate card. They can also apply through the e-Seva Kendra following the same procedure.
As of 20 January, about 13.09 lakh voters in the roll are in the 18–19 age group – meaning they have entered the roll and are ready to cast their vote for the first time.
