Why a linked mobile number matters

  • The OTP for downloading your e-EPIC goes only to the mobile number linked with your voter ID.
  • Filling the SIR enumeration form online needs a mobile number linked to your EPIC.
  • Updates on your voter card, such as printing and dispatch, come by SMS at each stage.

Steps to link your mobile number

  1. Open voters.eci.gov.in and log in with the mobile number you want to link and its OTP. If you are new, sign up first.
  2. Choose Form 8, say whether it is for yourself or a family member, and enter the EPIC number.
  3. Choose "Correction of entries" and tick Mobile Number.
  4. Type the new mobile number, check the other details, fill in the place and date, and preview the form.
  5. Submit. If the portal asks for Aadhaar e-sign, enter your Aadhaar number and the OTP sent to your Aadhaar-linked phone. Save the reference number.

If the OTP or e-sign fails

  • Make sure the name on your voter ID and on your Aadhaar is exactly the same. If it is not, correct the name first.
  • The Aadhaar OTP goes to the phone linked with your Aadhaar, which may be a different number from the one you are adding. Keep both phones with you.
  • You can also visit the Electoral Registration Officer's office with a photo ID to update the number.

After approval, the new number is linked to your voter ID. You can then download your e-EPIC with an OTP on that number.
