What If Your Name Is Not Found in the Voter List?
If your name does not appear in the search results, do not immediately assume that your registration has been permanently deleted. Try the following steps:
- Check that your EPIC number and personal details have been entered correctly.
- Try another available search method, such as Search by Details or Search by EPIC.
- Check the relevant electoral roll for your current ordinary residence and constituency.
- Review the latest electoral-roll publication or revision applicable to your area.
- Contact your Booth Level Officer (BLO) or Electoral Registration Officer (ERO) for assistance.
- Call the voter helpline at 1950 for guidance.

Is a Voter ID Card Enough to Vote?
You must be registered in the relevant electoral roll to vote. Having a physical Voter ID card alone does not replace the requirement for your name to appear in the electoral roll for the constituency. Check your name in the official search service before going to vote.
