By applying for Voter ID Cards, the new voters or citizens enter a whole new phase of life in which their decisions become synonymous with that of the whole democracy altogether. Their votes make or sometimes break the Governments and hence it is of utmost priority that these decisions are allowed to brew in an atmosphere with least influence and obstacles and maximum amount of brain storming. It is the duty of Election Commission of India to make sure that there is no rigidness in the way various political parties conduct their political campaigns. By doing so, the commission hence checks that there is no undue or illegitimate influence on the voters like cash or kind gifts in return of votes. Apart from this influence, the ECI also has the duty to make sure that there are least number of obstacles for the voters to cast their votes. Therefore the quality of mechanisms that facilitate registration of voters and issuing of Voter ID Cards has been maintained at high levels. Although it is also the duty of the citizens who wish to apply for Voter ID Cards to check that their registration process is smooth and without any rigidness.
How long does it take to issue Voter ID Cards?
The average time taken for issuing voter id cards depends on the method of registration chosen by the voter. There are a couple of ways in which a citizen could proceed with voter registration. The speediest and the easiest way for you to apply for an election card is when you apply for voter id card online.
This is because the online application saves you a trip to the election office and therefore saving you the hassle of lining up in long queues for long hours. Moreover, assessment of online application is also convenient for the election authorities, no wonder that it is done at much higher speeds than it is done for physical applications. Another option ,that is available for the citizens of Andhra Pradesh is to apply for Voter ID Cards through the newly established Mee-Seva centers.
Since the Voter ID Card finds its importance in the fact that is your passport to the polling booth, where you could cast your vote and hence affect the whole democracy by your choice of candidate. Since this one vote of yours symbolizes the choice of each ordinary citizen, it therefore determines the overall trend of choice of a candidate in the democracy. Having made you realize that how much important the process of voting is, it is therefore important for you to have an idea about the average time taken by the election authorities to issue Voter ID Cards from the day of registration or submission of application. So that the voters can plan their day of registration accordingly and do not miss the opportunity to cast their votes in the coming elections.
To sum up, there are 3 major ways to apply for Voter ID Cards and that are:
- Applying directly at the Election Office.
- Applying online on the CEO Website of the voter’s state.
- Applying at Mee-Seva Centres in Andhra Pradesh.
The fastest ways to apply being the Online Application and the Mee-Seva center. If you apply using these two methods, then it is highly likely that you would receive your Vote ID Card within 30 days from the day of your submission of the application form. Whereas if you go and apply straightaway from the CEO Office, it would take much more time, sometimes as much as 8-9 months. Therefore, if the elections are approaching i.e they are just a couple of months away, it is highly advisable that the citizens go for online application so that the voter id cards are issued just in time for them to be able to cast their votes.

Vijeta says
I filled a form in month of July, 2016 for change of address. I have been called in the month of Novemeber. Then they said to come in January. Then they asked me to come after 15 days. They took my number and also said they will call me. Bt i have not received any calls. Atlast again i had to visit our nearby electoral office where they again took my number and ask me to come after 4 days. After 4 days they gave me me voter ID. Bt there were lot of mistakes. My middle name was something else, my address was something else. And more over when election came i was not eligible to vote bcoz they entered my name on 13th February, 2017. Which was not my mistake. Now i have applied for correction in my Voter ID on 22nd February, 2017. I got a mail on 02nd March, 2017 that my application has been submitted. Now how long does it going to take to get my proper Voter ID? I want to apply for passport also. Already from past 6 months i m waiting for it and again they have made mistakes..
sumeet dharmani says
How much Days required to get voter id because always it show under process
sunil vishwakarma says
inspite of all the efforts a common citizen tries, it takes almost 3 to 6 months to get a voter id card issued, even if u apply online or offline,it hardly makes any difference.
these facilities dont work at that speed as we want them to, probably coz of shortage of staff or some other reason.
but i think from all the possible ways to get the id card (i.e online or offline)
the best way i heard was to go to any MLA standing for elections, requst for an voter ID, submit documents, he will get ur ID ready in Maximun 25 days tops.
but u have to vote for him ( this is how the sysytem works these days)
its upto us on what way we want to choose.
but seriously , this happens.

nimmala simhachalam says
On 09th and 19th May 2015, we have applied for two new voter card’s one for myself and another for my wife on line portal but the status of voter card’s till date is being shown as submitted. We would like to know long will it take to complete the whole process so to reach the card at our end.
Voter ID Card Editorial Board says
HI Nimmala Simhachalam,
It typically does take a month to two months for the voter ID card to come out. ‘Submitted’ shows that they do have your submission but it is yet to be processed. Wait a few days more to see if that changes.
Aditya says
20-30 days, this bullshit, I have applied 6mnths before, 2months before our local aero officer came, he collected all my documents and after two mnths I have got a niyice that ur application has been rejected and the reason was person not residing, even though I had given all my docs to him on ny own.
Its india… no work is done without corruption
Voter ID Card Editorial Board says
Hi Aditya,
I can understand your frustration. However not everything is based on corruption. The thing is while the Government and its officials may be slow to act on the pending Voter ID card applications, the sheer population of the country results in a very short staff and large applications. Still they do make sure your name is added to the voter list once the application is received by them.
You may not receive the voter ID card in time or it may take a lot of time, but I think you should know, if you are are registered voter, which means your name is in the electoral roll, then you are eligible to vote even without your Voter ID Card. You can merely show your PAN Card, Driving License, Passport etc as ID proof and still cast your vote.
