What is EPIC number?
Registered voters receive an Election Photo Identity Card, also known as a Voter ID card. This card contains a unique 10-digit alphanumeric code assigned by the Election Commission of India as proof of registration.
You’ll find the EPIC code printed on the front of your Voter ID card. Alternatively, you can look it up on the National Voters’ Service Portal (NVSP).
