ECI goes 'Spider-Man' route, urges citizens to register to vote. Here's how to do it online

Your right to vote begins with ensuring your name is on the electoral roll, a message the Election Commission of India (ECI) delivered with a pop culture twist. Through its SVEEP (Systematic Voters' Education and Electoral Participation) initiative, the poll body shared a Spider-Man-themed post on X, reminding citizens that while voting is a powerful democratic right, it also comes with the responsibility of keeping electoral records up to date.

Quoting Spider-Man's iconic line, "With great power comes great responsibility," the ECI urged eligible citizens to register as voters, verify their names in the electoral roll, or update their details online before the next election.

Here's how you can do it:

Step 1: Visit the Voters' Service Portal

Go to voters.eci.gov.in and log in using your registered mobile number. New users can create an account by verifying their number through an OTP.

• Select Form 6 (New Voter Registration).
• Fill in your personal and address details.
• Upload the required documents.
• Submit the application and note your reference number for tracking.

Step 3: Verify Your Name

Already registered? Select Search in Electoral Roll and search using your EPIC (Voter ID) number, personal details, or mobile number to confirm your name is on the voter list.
