How to Search Your Name in Voter List (Karnataka)

The Chief Electoral Officer of Karnataka has published the latest electoral rolls for 2014 loksabha election on Jan 31, 2014. (Year of Revision - 2014, Qualifying Date: 01-01-2014. Type of Revision - Summary Revision, Date of Publication: 31-01-2014 )

Please ensure that your name is included in the voter lists at the CEO Karnataka Website . Please note that if you have voted in previous elections, have a voter ID card, and have not shifted your residence, even then your name may have got deleted from the electoral rolls. Please verify and restore your name if deleted.

If your name is not in the voter list, then you cannot vote, even if you have a voter id card !!. On the other hand, if your name is in the voter list but you don't have a voter id card, you can still vote with any govt issued photo card (Driving license, passport, Aadhar card , ration card etc) to identify yourself. (The list published on Jan 31 is not final though and there will be further revisions before the elections and CEO Karnataka Website will be updated accordingly).

( Update : New revision of the voter list has been made on Mar 26 and it is available now on the http://ceokarnataka.kar.nic.in/ website )

Apart from ensuring that your name appears in the voter list, you can also find your voting booth details and serial number on the site.

Here are the ways to check if your name is there in the voter list or not:

  1. Search by name To find your name in voter list, go to http://ceokarnataka.kar.nic.in/SearchHome_New.aspx. Enter your name (There are serious spelling mistakes in some records, so enter only a part of your name. eg: If your name is Jagannatha, then try 'jagan') , your Relation Name ( the one that you filled in form 6 - e.g. your father name or your husband name), and your assembly constituency. Search results will give you your Voter ID no., your Serial Number, your Part number and your voting booth details.

    • Note: Many people are not finding their name using 'search by name' even though their name is in the voter list. This seems to be a problem with the website. The fix is to enter your first name only in the name field and first name of your relation in the 'relation name' field

    • Details :While searching my name in the rolls, I spotted a problem in the 'search by name' feature of website. I was getting the error 'No record found. Enquire with your Electoral Registration Officer(E.R.O). To know your E.R.O click on 'Know your ERO' link from left menu.'. By luck, I figured out that when I entered my full name, i.e., first name + last name, it was giving the error. Same problem appeared in the 'relation name'. Entering full name was giving this error. When I tried entering only first name in name field and only first name in 'relation name' field, I got the results. So the key is to enter only first name in both the fields - "name" and "relation name". To know what is required to be filled in the 'relation name', see below under FAQs.

  2. Mis-spelt Names : Search in the pdf files of the booths in your area
    This is important. Please read this if you are unable to find your name in the list by using the the above mentioned search facility.
    Sometimes the "Search by name" feature does not work for varied reasons. For e.g., one of my friend was unable to find his name because there was a spelling mistake in his father's name in voterID card! There are many cases where the govt. makes mistake in names, age, relation names, etc. In that case, if you search by name, you will not get any results because your name or your relation's name (father's/husband's) is spelled differently in voter list. So if you are unable to find your name in the voter list, please follow the process mentioned below.

    Go to this page. Select your district and then assembly constituency. The full list of polling booths (with address) in that assembly constituency will be displayed. Download the pdf files of 4-5 polling booths nearest to your residence and search your name (with Ctrl-F) in those pdf files. Try these various combinations for searching : your first name, your last name, your relation's first name and your relation's last name.

    Also, please note that sometimes two persons in the same family can get different polling booths. So don't assume that your polling booth will be the same as of your family member/neighbour. Search in pdf files of all the polling booths nearest to your residence.

    If you are looking for voter list for 2017 elections, please go to following links:

FAQs:

  1. There is a field with title "Relation Name". What does this mean and what should I type in this field?
    Ans:- father's name/husband/gurdian's name (whatever you have given in form 6)

  2. I have submitted my application online on voterreg.nic.in , but my name is not there in the list?
    Ans:- Check your application status online. If your status says - "Field Verification Completed" then your name should appear in the next update of Electoral Rolls.

  3. I have a voterID card but could not find my name in the voter rolls. What to do?
    Ans:- Many names have got deleted from the voter list for reasons I don't know. If you don’t find your name then raise complaint on http://eci-citizenservices.nic.in

    Hi, there might be a possibility that your name got mis-spelt. Please read the 2nd point of my post - "Mis-spelt Names : Search in the pdf files of the booths in your area" to be sure that your name is really not there.

    If your name is not there in the voter's list, please raise the matter with your area's AERO. Probably your names have got deleted. Find contact details at - http://ceokarnataka.kar.nic.in/District.aspx

    Hi Neha,
    First off, appreciate your time for this noble cause in answering people's question regarding their registration in electoral roll.
    Sadly I didn't find my name in the latest electoral roll, though my application status shows Field Verification Completed :(
    Very disappointing. Any clue if ERO could help me include my name (I know its too late and only a week is left now) as the verification process apparently is done.

    I have done the registration through IndiaVoting initiation including for my wife. Both of our details are same. Luckily, my wife name is listed when I search by name, however I do not find my name in the list. What is the possible reason. When contacted the specific ERO, they said "possibly it would have got rejected and requested me to apply after election". How do I know if the next one also won't get rejected if I do not know the reason. Appreciate your help/comments.

    I am from Bangalore....

    You can register again but the thing is you won't be able to vote this time (for 2014 Loksabha elections) as the final voter list is already out and there will be no modifications now.

    If your name is deleted from voter list, approach the ARO of your ward with details and ask to restore the status. If you can provide information on people in your neighbourhood, colony, or apartment, that would be better. Work with your RWA or any NGO interested to help. (Source - http://bangalore.citizenmatters.in/articles/4640-voter-and-rolls-rampant-deletions-in-bangalore-voter-rolls)
    Alternatively contact the ERO of your area. Find the contact details of ERO here - http://ceokarnataka.kar.nic.in/District.aspx

    Hi I have submitted to include my name in the voter list on March 6th. if i check my application status its showing as " Your Assembly constituency : 161, Part No : 150, Section/ Street : 3". I was able to find my name in the list added after feb 2014. But when i check now i dont see that option of "names added after feb 2014". Will i be able to vote this time or no? My ID was shown as WZU4079240.

    If you have your voterID number you can definitely vote with any govt. ID card. You can find your polling booth details at http://ceokarnataka.kar.nic.in/SearchHome_New.aspx - Use "Search by EPIC number". Your ID is EPIC number here. Once you get the result click on details button to see the polling booth address.
  • Vikram
    03 Apr 14
    Hi Thanks for the info... I was able to get the info from the EPIC number. But when i search the list in "search by name" tab i don't see my entry. But i checked in the PDF for ward no 150, the ward to which i belong to. Even there i didn't find my name. Am i supposed to do any thing else?
  • neha
    08 Apr 14
    Hi Vikram, I could search your name by "search by name" tab. Just enter first name only i.e. madhuvikram and laxman. The search is somehow working on first name only as described in the post.
    I could search your name in the PDF for ward no 150 too. Your serial no. is 1223 so your entry is on 1223th number in the pdf.
    You dont have to do anything reg it..Just go and vote :) Happy voting!

  • neha
    01 Apr 14
    No need to apply again. Just get the latest electoral rolls of your assembly constituency on <a href="http://ceokarnataka.kar.nic.in/ElectionFinalroll2014/Dist_List.aspx"> this page</a> You know your part number so download the rolls of that particular part number. It is a document containing details of all the voters of that area. Search your name in that document with Ctrl+F. You will get to know your serial number.
    Hope that helps.
