Can the name still be added to the voter list?
Now the question is that if a person’s name is not yet in the voter list. So can he get it connected now? According to the rules of the Election Commission, when the election dates are officially announced and the final voter list is released. So after that new entries are generally stopped. That means voting is done on the basis of the same last voter list. However, those who have already applied and whose verification is pending. His name can be included in the list.
Therefore, if a person has completed 18 years of age and wants to vote. So he should apply well before the elections. For this, application can be made through the voter portal of the Election Commission of India or the nearest election office. This increases the possibility of getting your name added to the voter list in time.
