📝 Alternate Method (Form 8)

If you cannot link directly via the portal, you can do this via Form 8 (Correction of Entries in Existing Electoral Roll):

1. On the portal, go to Form 8: Correction of Entries in Existing Electoral Roll.

2. Enter your EPIC number and verify your details.

3. When asked for what to correct, choose “Mobile Number”.

This Form 8 route is helpful if your EPIC details aren’t fully matching yet with ec records online.

You can also link your mobile number via the Election Commission’s Voter Helpline App:

1. Download the Voter Helpline App from google Play or apple App Store.

2. Log in using your mobile number and OTP.

4. Enter your EPIC number and verify your mobile number with OTP.

🟡 Benefits of Linking Your mobile Number

🔹 OTP Verification: Receive OTPs for online corrections and roll updates.
🔹 Digital Voter ID (e‑EPIC): You can download your e‑EPIC instantly once linked.
🔹 Election Alerts & Polling Details: Get notifications on important election dates and your polling station.
🔹 Online Voter Services: Improve ease of applying for corrections, deletions, or roll updates.

❗ Important Things to Know

🧠 Not Mandatory but Very Useful:
Linking your mobile number is not mandatory by itself, but without it, you won’t receive OTPs that many online voter services now require.

📍 One Number Only:
You can link only one mobile number to a Voter ID at a time.

⚠ mobile Number Must Be Active:
Use a working phone number because an OTP is essential for verification.

📅 Processing Time:
Sometimes, it takes a few days to reflect changes on the portal, depending on state election data sync and verification status.

🧠 Common Issues You May Face

🔹 Mismatch Between Documents:
If your name on the voter ID and Aadhaar don’t match, you may need to update details first before linking your mobile.

🔹 No Records Found Online:
If the portal doesn’t show your EPIC details when you try to link, it may not yet be synced to the online system — in that case, submit Form 8 or contact your local Booth Level Officer (BLO).

🧾 Tracking Your Application

You can check your application status on the NVSP portal or via the Voter Helpline App by logging in with your registered mobile number and EPIC reference.

✅ Summary:
Linking your mobile number with your voter ID online is simple and convenient:
