The Election Commission’s new initiative of Electors Verification Programme (EVP) aims to update the electoral rolls through participation from citizens. The initiative is first being rolled out in delhi after which it will be undertaken across the country. Citizens will have to make an account on the online portal and check the data available and verify the same.


They can update and verify details in order to remove “logical errors” like multiple entries and missing names among others. One can tag family members in the same account to verify and update the respective data. Both online and offline modes are available for voters to participate in the EVP.


In the offline mode, citizens can approach the voters’ centres available in each Assembly constituency or visit the CSCs (Common Service Centres). Simultaneous verification will be done by block level officers (BLO) as well.


Objective: The programme is aimed at empowering voters by checking data themselves and authenticating the same.With the Assembly polls in delhi due soon, the programme is an opportunity for voters to check the available data, verify it themselves and to ensure that the corrections are made.
