Maharashtra Assembly Elections 2024: How to find polling station, how to vote without Voter ID? Know the answer to every question.
Campaigning for a total of 288 seats in the 2024 Maharashtra Assembly elections has been stopped for now. Voting will be held in phases in the state on November 20. After this, the results will be announced on November 23. Currently, Maharashtra has the Mahayutthi government led by Eknath Shinde. These include the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Shiv Sena (Shindhi faction) and Ajit Pawar’s Nationalist Congress Party (NCP).
This time too, the Maha Vikas Aghadi alliance is ready to go all out against the state government. The alliance also includes the Congress, Shiv Sena (Uddhav faction) and Sharad Pawar’s Nationalist Congress Party (NCP). In this context, in this report, we will try to understand every big and small thing related to the Maharashtra Assembly elections. Whether it’s locating a polling place or searching for a name in an online voter list.
How do first-time voters find out where their polling place is?
The state will go to polls on November 20. Voters voting for the first time in this election can also obtain information about their polling stations online. To do this, they must log into the National Voter Service Portal (NVSP). Voters can find their polling station by entering their information by going to the Electoral Roll Search option on the NVSP portal.
This facility is very useful for young people who are voting for the first time as it provides them with accurate information about the polling stations. Young people voting for the first time should ensure their names are correctly recorded on the electoral roll. The whole process is simple and convenient.
How to know voting center from voter ID?
During elections, all voters can also view their names and information on the electoral roll online. The National Voter Service Portal, or NVSP, also makes the process simple and easy. Here you can also use the “Search Electoral Roll” option on the NVSP portal to obtain information. During this process, basic details such as name, date of birth, and EPIC number must be entered. This way, voters can get accurate information about voting centres, center addresses and other important information.
How to vote without a voter ID card?
The Electoral Commission has made it clear that even if you do not have a voter ID card, you can still vote as long as you have a few important documents, which we will cover later in the report.
On Election Day, you can take these documents to the polls to prove your identity. These include passport, driving license, Aadhar card, PAN card, photo identity card issued by state or central government, passbook containing photo issued by bank or post office, labor card issued by labor ministry, health insurance smart card or including National Population Registration Card smart card.
In addition to this, names must be on the electoral roll. To search for a name on the electorate list, you can use the National Voter Service Portal (NVSP) or the Electoral Commission website.
