Guidelines for filling up the application NVSP Form 6

Who may submit an NVSP Form 6?

An Indian citizen who was 18 years of age or older on January 1 of the year in question for the revision of the electoral record. For instance, in the revision process using January 1, 2014 as the qualifying date, a person who turns 18 on January 1, 2014 (i.e., A person born on or before January 1, 1995) is entitled to enrol as an elector and can submit NVSP Form 6.
A registered voter who changes their primary address from the area in which they are currently residing.

When is the Form-6 submittable?

You can submit the application at any time of the year. It may be filed during the electoral roll revision after the constituency’s electoral roll has been officially published. The application must be turned in prior to the cutoff date for claims and objections. The above-mentioned time range receives the necessary exposure when the modification programme is introduced. The application must be submitted in a single copy during the revision programme. During the time period that we refer to as the non-revision period, applications must be submitted in duplicate.

Where to file NVSP Form-6?

The designated locations where the drafted electoral roll is posted (often polling stations), as well as the offices of the constituency’s Electoral Registration Officer and Assistant Electoral Registration Officer, are where the application may be made during the revision period. The application may also be submitted online on the Chief Electoral Officer of the relevant State’s website.
When the revision programme is not going on, the application can be filed only with the Electoral Registration Officer or can be filed online.
