Voter ID Application Status Check Online: Track Form 6

Why Check Voter ID Application Status?

After submitting your Voter ID application — whether it's a new registration (Form 6), correction (Form 8), or transfer (Form 6/8A) — you'll want to know if it has been approved. Tracking your application helps you:

• Know if BLO verification is pending or completed
• Check if any documents are missing or if the application has objections
• Confirm when your name has been added to the electoral roll
• Take action quickly if the application is rejected

Understanding Your Reference ID

When you submit any voter-related application (Form 6, Form 8, Form 6A, Form 8A), you receive a Reference ID. This is your tracking number.

• Format: Alphanumeric code (e.g., SRF0012345678)
• It is shown on the confirmation page after submission
• Also sent via SMS to your registered mobile number
• Keep it safe — you need it to track your application

Tip: If you've lost your Reference ID, login to voters.eci.gov.in — your submitted applications and their reference IDs are listed under your profile.

Application Status Stages

BLO Visit Status

The Booth Level Officer (BLO) is assigned to verify your application in person. Here's what to expect:

• BLO is assigned within 7–15 days of application submission
• BLO visits your residential address to verify identity and residence
• You may receive a phone call from the BLO before the visit
• If you're not at home, the BLO may revisit or ask you to visit the ERO office
• After verification, the BLO submits a report to the ERO

What to Keep Ready for BLO Visit

• Original documents (age proof, address proof) for verification
• Your application reference ID
• Be available at the address mentioned in the application

Approval Timeline

Note: Timelines may vary by state and workload of the ERO. During election periods, processing may be paused.

What to Do If Application Is Rejected

1. Check the rejection reason on the tracking page
2. Common reasons:
   • Incomplete or unclear documents
   • Address does not match
   • BLO could not verify residence
   • Duplicate entry found
3. Fix the issue and re-apply with correct documents

Important Tips

1. Save your Reference ID immediately after submission — screenshot or write it down
2. Check status weekly — don't wait months without checking
3. Keep your phone accessible — BLO may call the number on your application
4. Respond to objections quickly — delays in response can lead to rejection
5. Check the electoral roll after approval to confirm your name is listed
