Important pointers

If you are a citizen of Telangana and already have a voter ID card, but it is from a place other than Telangana and now you have moved back to the State; enrolling is simple. It’s the same as above but instead of selecting the ‘As a first time voter’, select the ‘due to shifting from another constituency’

On the same website, ‘Form 8’ under the ‘Assembly Constituency’ tab can be used for corrections in the voter ID. If there is a correction in the name, date of birth, address, etc, Form 8 can be filled with necessary details and the voter ID will be corrected.

If you have shifted your residence within the same constituency, then ‘Form 8A’ can be used to transfer the name to a relevant part of the voters roll in the same constituency. Check the status of your application under the ‘Assembly Constituency’ tab by clicking on ‘Know Your Status’.
