I did a bit of research to figure out how to get a voter id in Odisha for someone who is from a rural area but now living in my parents place. This is what I found.<\/p>\n

After elections are announced traveling voting registration camps are organized in various places and one can go there to do a new voter registration or update their voter registration data.<\/p>\n

However, the voter registration ID (or some acceptable ID) may be needed for many other things (such as to open a bank account) and one may not have the luxury to wait till the next election. In that case, one may follow the procedure given below.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Fill the form at http:\/\/eci.gov.in\/eci_main\/forms\/form6.pdf<\/a> and submit it to the ERO (Electoral registration Officer) of the Assembly Constituency where one is currently living. (This information is from http:\/\/eci.nic.in\/eci_main1\/Elecroll.aspx<\/a>.)<\/li>\n
  2. The list of EROs in Odisha is given at http:\/\/ceoorissa.nic.in\/ERO.htm<\/a>. For example, the ERO of Bhubanewar is Sri Saroj Ku. Samal, Sub-Collector,Bhubaneswar, Pin-751014, Phone: 0674 2432301 \/ 2397728 \/ 2432301 \/ 9437226644.<\/li>\n
  3. Some of the documents that may be needed are:\n
      \n
    • Matric\/school certificate with DOB (See 5-iii in the from) [for Proof of Name; age; DOB]<\/li>\n
    • Postal department’s posts received \/ delivered in the applicant’s name at the given address. (See 8-iv in the form) [for Proof of Address]<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      The above pointers have more details.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
