Voter Forms 6, 6A, 6B, 7 and 8: which form do you need?

Form 6 adds a new voter. Form 8 corrects details, shifts your address or replaces your card. Form 7 removes a name. Form 6A is for Indian citizens living abroad and Form 6B gives your Aadhaar number. All of them can be filled online on voters.eci.gov.in.

Who can apply

Any Indian citizen who is 18 or older and ordinarily lives at the address can be a voter there. There are four qualifying dates in a year: 1 January, 1 April, 1 July and 1 October. If you are 17, you can apply in advance with Form 6; your name is added in the quarter after you turn 18.

Where to apply

Online on voters.eci.gov.in, after signing in with your mobile number and OTP.
In the Election Commission's ECINET mobile app.
On paper, given to your Booth Level Officer or at the Electoral Registration Officer's office.

Things to remember

Form 7 can be filed only by a voter of the same constituency, and you must show the reason, such as death, shifting or a duplicate entry. The officer checks before removing any name.
Giving your Aadhaar number in Form 6B is voluntary. The Election Commission has said that no name will be removed because a person does not give Aadhaar.
A false statement in these forms is a punishable offence under Section 31 of the Representation of the People Act, 1950. Fill in only what your documents show.
Save the reference number you get after submitting. You need it to track your application.
