How to Check Name in Voter List Delhi on Internet?

Not everyone is blessed with an internet connection, that may be hard to believe, but as a matter of fact many households, communities or groups have many other things to worry about other than an internet connection. In these cases people with no access to the internet have to make a couple of trips to the ERO office and engage in monotonous activities in order to conduct even a task as simple as checking the Voter ID Card Delhi Status, something which could be done just by visiting the following link:- http://ceodelhi.gov.in/OnlineErms/CheckApplicationStatus.aspx

Alas! this link is not accessible by your friends, colleagues or acquaintances who are not as blessed as you are to be on the grid.

How can offline users check their name in the Voter List?

Some may argue that an internet connection has a great outreach and there might not be many people without it but nevertheless it is not surprising to hear that the mobile services have a much greater outreach than internet. Supported by this fact, people without an internet connection can check their name in the voter list just by sending a simple text message. The layout of the text message is as follows:-

Just SMS ‘EPIC’<SPACE>’Voter ID Card No.‘ and send it to 9211728082.

By this way you can save a trip to the Election Office if you want to check your name in the Voter’s List of your constituency.

The election commission although has to go a long way in order to make the Voter ID Card issuing process and related tasks easier for the people who have no internet connection, but this move, through which offline users can check their name in the Voter List through an SMS, would surely open a lot more avenues and enable many more electoral tasks to be conducted using mobile phones and hence make things easier for both online and offline citizens.
