The Election Commission of India has established voter registration guidelines for the upcoming 2026 elections in West Bengal. To be eligible, applicants must be Indian citizens aged 18 or older as of the qualifying date and must reside in the constituency where they wish to register. Required documents include proof of identity, such as an Aadhaar card, passport, Permanent Account Number (PAN) card, or driving license, along with proof of residence like utility bills or bank passbooks. Applicants must also provide passport-sized photographs. The registration process can be initiated online through the National Voters’ Service Portal or the Voter Helpline App by filling out Form 6, or it can be done offline at designated Electoral Registration Offices. After submission, a verification process will be conducted, and upon successful verification, a Voter ID card will be issued. The Election Commission emphasizes the importance of early registration, especially for first-time voters, to avoid last-minute issues and stresses the need for accuracy in the submitted details.
