The election atmosphere is heating up again in Bihar. The first phase of the 2025 assembly elections is taking place on November 6. Voting is taking place for 121 assembly seats across 18 districts. There are 1,314 candidates in this phase. The second phase of voting will take place on November 11, and the counting of votes will take place on November 14.

If you are going to vote this time, it is very important to first know whether your name is on the voter list. Often, people reach the polling booth to cast their vote, but are unable to cast their vote because their name is not on the voter list. Therefore, it's best to check your name on the list from the comfort of your home, and that too with just one SMS. Let's learn how to get your voting details in one SMS.

How to Check Your Voting Details in One SMS

The Election Commission of India (ECI) has provided a very easy method for voters' convenience. Now, you can check whether your name is on the voter list by sending just one SMS.

1. Go to your mobile's message box and type ECI .

2. Now send this message to 1950.

3. Within a few seconds, an auto-generated message will arrive on your mobile. It will contain complete details of your voter information, such as your name, voting center, assembly constituency, and EPIC number.

Another Way to Check Voting Details via SMS

If the first method doesn't work, you have another SMS option. You can also send your EPIC number to 7738299899. Sometimes this service may be down due to technical reasons, so checking through the website or the Voter Helpline App is considered more appropriate.

You can also check your name through the helpline number.

If you don't want to send an SMS or are experiencing problems, you can also get this information through a phone call. To check through the helpline number, dial 1950 from your phone. Once the call is connected, you will be given the option to select a language, such as Hindi, English, or your local language. Then, follow the IVR instructions. When the "Check Voter Status" option appears, select it. You may be asked for your EPIC number or Reference Number, so keep it handy.

Online Method: Check Name Through the NVSP Portal

If you use the internet, you can also check your name in the voter list online. To do this, you will need to visit the National Voter Service Portal (NVSP).

1. Open the official website of the National Voter Service Portal in your browser.

2. Then, click on the Search in Electoral Roll option on the home page.

3. When the new page opens, choose between EPIC Number Search or Mobile Number Search.

4. Select your state and preferred language.

5. Now, fill in the requested details such as name, father's name, husband's name, date of birth, and captcha, and click Search.

6. If your name is listed, your complete voter information will appear on the screen. If it shows "No Record Found," your name is not currently listed.
