On Wednesday, November 20, voters in Maharashtra will cast their votes in a single phase for the state assembly elections. With the second phase of Jharkhand Assembly elections, voting is going to be held on the same day for all 288 seats. Maharashtra’s electoral battle is between Mahayuti and the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA). Mahayuti is an alliance of three parties: the BJP, Shiv Sena (Eknath Shinde), and the Ajit Pawar-led Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), while MVA includes the Uddhav Thackeray faction of Shiv Sena, the Sharad Pawar-led NCP, and Congress.
A few points should be noted as voters prepare to cast their votes in the Maharashtra Assembly election. Voting will be held from 7am to 6pm. To ensure a smooth process, it is important to bring a voter ID card (also known as a voter information slip) and a photo ID proof to the polling station. In addition to this, the Election Commission has specified approved documents for voters.
How to check your name on the voters’ list
. For the convenience of voters, the Election Commission of India (ECI) has started many services; one of them is to check your name in the voter list online.
. The ECI website, https://voters.eci.gov.in/, is the easiest way to verify names on the voter list.
. The ‘Search in Electoral Roll’ option is located under the Services section of the website.
. The page that will open will have three tabs: ‘Search by Details’, ‘Search by EPIC Number’, and ‘Search by Mobile.’
. Before selecting the search option in the first choice, a user must enter information such as their name, birthdate, state, and district.
. Details about the polling station and constituency will appear if the name matches the record.
. Electoral Photo Identification Card number, or simply voter ID number, can be searched by voters using the ‘Search by EPIC Number’ feature.
. After entering the EPIC number, the website will instruct voters to enter the captcha, after which the details will be visible.
. Voters can also search their details by mobile number. For this, they have to enter their state and their language along with their registered mobile phone number.
. Click “Send OTP” once you’ve filled out the Captcha. Details will be displayed after entering the code received on the mobile.
