Transfer Voter ID to New Address 2026 — Shift Constituency Online

Q: How do I transfer my Voter ID to a new address?

On voters.eci.gov.in, use the migration / transfer / address change service for existing electors (often linked to Form 8 or a dedicated shift option), provide new address and proofs, submit, and track the reference number until the roll is updated.

Q: Will my EPIC number change after transfer?

In many cases EPIC remains the same while constituency and address update. Follow the portal confirmation for your application.

Q: What documents prove new address?

Aadhaar, passport, rent agreement, utility bill or other residence proofs accepted on the form. Check the live list.

Q: Can I vote at old booth after transfer is accepted?

No. Once shifted, you vote at the new polling station linked to the updated roll entry.

Q: Is transfer free?

Yes on the official ECI portal.

Q: I already applied Form 6 at new place by mistake?

Dual enrolment is not allowed. Prefer proper transfer/migration of existing entry. Contact ERO if duplicate risk exists.

Use track application status with your reference number on voters.eci.gov.in.
