There are several ways to submit an application:

• To submit it along with Form 6, you need to provide some basic documents. The documents should also be verified or certified before submission.
• Proof of identification is required. Examples include passports, driving licenses, Pan cards, and student ID cards.
• Submission of proof of residence or address is also required.
• To vote, you must live at the address for six months.
• The following documents will serve as proof of address:
• A current passbook from a bank, farmer, or post office,
• The ration card,
• Your passport,
• driving license,
• Tax assessment order,
• Rent agreement,
• Recent telephone, electric, gas, and water bills for that address, either in the name of
• the applicant or his/her immediate family (parent).
• The Indian Postal Department delivers mail/post/letters in the name of the applicant to the address of Ordinary Post.Note: If the above-mentioned documents are not in your name, but rather in the name of your landlord, then the landlord can sign an affidavit stating that you reside at the mentioned address. In the case that the address proof you are giving is in the name of a family member, then you must provide proof of the relationship. For this, a relationship certificate from your parents and a marriage certificate, if the address is in the name of a husband or wife, are necessary.
  

  For proof of age:

• Any government-recognized document that proves your age is sufficient for age verification if you’re 18 to 22:
• Birth certificate issued by the municipal authority or district office of the registrar of births and deaths, or baptismal certificate.
• The applicant must submit a birth certificate from the last school they attended or any other recognized educational institution.
• In the case that he is a 10th class pass, then a 10th class mark sheet will be sufficient, but the date of birth must appear on it.
• If the mark sheet contains the date of birth, it will also work for classes 5 and 8.- Passport

  3rd Step: Submission of Form 6
  Along with the attested documents, you must submit Form 6 to your nearest ERO (Electoral Registration Officer). Your form will be acknowledged once it has been submitted. The office will grant your voter ID status in about a month or 45 days. You will either receive a call or a letter. If you do not receive anything from this, you can directly contact the ERO office, where you submitted the form along with the receipt you obtained during the submission.

  In the event that you do not have a voter ID on election day, you can still cast your vote. Your name appears on the electoral list. You will need to bring your driving license, PAN card, passport, etc. according to your suitability.

  Also, it can happen:

  Form 6 is posted on the notice board after it is received by ERO so that anyone can voice their objections within one week. Moreover, ERO may ask the booth level officer to visit the applicant’s residence to verify the information provided in the application. When the ERO receives Form 6 and no objections are received, the name will be added to the list.

  In this way, you can register your vote as explained in the whole process. Do not wait to register if you haven’t already. Voting is your legal right, so be a responsible citizen and cast your vote.
