Form 6: application to be added to the electoral roll (new voter)
Form 6 is the Election Commission's application form for new voters. You use it to ask the Electoral Registration Officer to include your name in the electoral roll of your constituency, when you are applying for the first time and your name is not on any roll. You attach a self-attested copy of a document for your age and one for your address.
Issued by: Election Commission of India, under the Registration of Electors Rules, 1960
The form itself is in English, exactly as the issuing office prints it.
How to fill it in
