West Bengal Allows Online Voter Form Submission With EPIC-Mobile Link
Imagine you need to update your name on a special list for voting in West Bengal.
Usually, you have to fill out a paper form and give it to a helper or mail it in.
Now, the people in charge of elections, called the Election Commission of India, are letting people do this online.
But, to do it online, you need to connect your special voter ID card number, called EPIC, with your phone number.
This is great news for people who live far away from West Bengal, like students or people working in other places.
They can now fill out the forms right from their phones or computers.
This makes it easier for everyone to make sure their information on the voting list is correct for the 2026 special update.
The Election Commission of India (ECI) has allowed online submission for the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) 2026 electoral roll in West Bengal.
Linking an EPIC (Electors Photo Identity Card) and a mobile number is now mandatory for submitting forms online.
This online facility is particularly beneficial for individuals living outside West Bengal for employment or higher education.
Voters are required to fill and submit enumeration forms either to a Booth Level Officer (BLO) or online.
The EPIC is a unique 10-digit identification number issued by the Election Commission.
