What Do Voter Application Status Updates Mean?
The exact wording and available status descriptions can vary according to the application and portal workflow. Use the information displayed against your own application rather than assuming a fixed meaning for every status label.
- Submitted or received: The portal indicates that your request has been submitted or received.
- Under process: Your application may still be undergoing the relevant verification or administrative process.
- Verification required: Check the portal for instructions or contact the relevant election official if clarification is needed.
- Approved: The application has been approved according to the status displayed. Check any further instructions about your EPIC or electoral-roll entry.
- Rejected or not accepted: Read the reason, if provided, and contact the election office for guidance on the next steps.
These are general descriptions, not a guarantee that every label will appear on the portal. Follow the official status and instructions for your application.
What to Do If Your Application Status Is Not Showing
- Confirm that you are using the official Election Commission portal.
- Check the reference number and other information entered for tracking.
- Sign in using the account associated with your voter service request if the portal requires it.
- Try again later if the portal is temporarily unavailable.
- Contact your Booth Level Officer (BLO) or Electoral Registration Officer (ERO) if the issue continues.
- Call the voter helpline at 1950 for guidance.
How to Check Whether Your Name Is in the Voter List
Application status and voter-list inclusion are different checks. If you want to confirm whether your name appears in the electoral roll, use the official electoral search service separately.
Search Your Name in the Electoral Roll
Check the electoral roll before an election. Possessing a Voter ID card alone does not replace the requirement for your name to appear in the relevant electoral roll.
