How to Download Your Voter ID (e-EPIC) Online
Skip the wait for a physical replacement — download a QR-coded, print-ready copy of your Voter ID from the Election Commission's own portal in a few minutes.
EDTechToolsCenter EditorialLost your physical Voter ID, or just need a copy right now instead of waiting for a replacement card? The Election Commission's e-EPIC is a free, official digital version of your Voter ID — a QR-coded PDF you can download in minutes and use anywhere the physical card is accepted. Full details are on our Voter ID download service page.
What exactly is an e-EPIC?
e-EPIC stands for electronic Electoral Photo Identity Card — it's a secure, non-editable PDF of your Voter ID with a QR code that can be scanned to verify authenticity. The Election Commission treats it as equally valid to the physical card, including as ID at polling booths.

Step-by-step: download your e-EPIC
- Open the official Voter Services Portal at voters.eci.gov.in, or use the Voter Helpline app.
- Sign in or register with your mobile number and verify the OTP sent to it.
- Go to 'e-EPIC Download' and enter your EPIC number.
- Verify with a second OTP sent to the mobile number linked to your voter record.
- Download the PDF — it's ready to print or keep on your phone.
Don't know your EPIC number?
Use the 'Search in Electoral Roll' tool on the same portal — enter your name, age/date of birth and constituency, and it will look up your EPIC number for you before you go to the download step.
Common mistakes
- Trying to download with a mobile number that was never linked to the voter record — the OTP step will simply fail.
- Confusing e-EPIC download with new voter registration — download only works if you're already a registered voter; new registrations go through Form 6 instead.
- Printing at a very small size — keep it legible enough for the QR code to scan cleanly if it's checked.
