I have not received Voter card even after several months of applying?

The issue we are talking about is Non-Receipt of Election or Voter Card.

It has now become a common problem with new voters who apply for a new voter card and even follow all the right process from applying to final submission, but still face a problem when it comes to receiving their card in hand. Usually a new voter card takes about 2-3 months to reach your hand after the date of application submission. But if no verification team has come to your house, you need to contact the ERO, polling station, local Tahsildar, or Zonal Officer in particular areas from where you have applied. But if the verification has been already done and it exceeds this 2-3 months’ time period, then there must be a problem as your application may either be stuck at some stage of this streamlined process or may be lost in the transit. So how do one check what happened with their application or Voter Card? The answer is provided below.
