What are the documents I need to register as a voter?

Apart from your voter registration form, you will need to submit:
• An Address Proof document. This document is required for the BLO (Booth Level Officer) to come and verify your residence status. It is therefore not essential for the address proof document to have your name. It needs to have only the address of the place where you are staying. Any one of the following documents is acceptable for address proof:
1. Landline phone bill
2. Mobile telephone bill
3. Water bill
4. Electricity bill
5. Property tax receipt
6. Bank statement
7. Passport
8. Ration card
9. House Lease/Rental agreement
10. LPG receipt
11. Driving license
12. Identity cards given by the employer
13. Any of the 17 alternative documents prescribed by Election Commission for identity proof
• If you are a first time voter, you will also need to submit an age proof document. You can submit the proof of Date of Birth from any government agency authorized document like birth certificate, passport, PAN Card, Driving Licence, state board exam certificate etc.
• If you are a student residing in a hostel / mess, you might not have any of the above mentioned address proof documents. In this case, you can get a Student Declaration Form signed by your college dean/principal/registrar and submit it along with your voter registration form.
