Lok Sabha Elections 2024: How To Vote If You Live In A Different City?

Lok Sabha Elections 2024: As the current term of the 17th Lok Sabha in India is ending on June 16, 2024, the Election Commission of India (ECI) has announced the schedule for the Lok Sabha elections on March 16.

This Friday, the first phase of voting will happen in 102 constituencies across 21 states.

With over 968.6 million eligible voters in this Lok Sabha election, many are wondering how to vote if they live away from their registered voting constituency.

Here's a simple guide on how to cast your vote if you're living in a different city:

1. Check Your Voter Registration

First, make sure you're a registered voter. You can do this online through the Election Commission of India's official website or by contacting your local Electoral Registration Officer.

2. Transfer Your Voter ID

If you've moved to a different location but want to keep your right to vote in your original constituency, apply for a voter ID transfer. Fill out a form to request the transfer from one constituency to another, either online or at the nearest Electoral Registration Office.

3. Submit Required Documents

When submitting the transfer form, provide documents like proof of residence for your current location.

4. Verification Process

Once you've submitted the documents, the Electoral Registration Officer will start the verification process, which might include a visit to your current location.

5. Confirmation

After successful verification, your voter ID will be transferred to your current constituency. You'll receive confirmation through your chosen mode of communication.

6. Bring Your Voter ID

On election day, don't forget to bring your voter ID card to cast your vote.
