The importance of this list can be understood from the fact that even if you have a voter ID card but do not have your name in this list then you cannot vote.

To be eligible to register for this list the person has to be at least 18 years old according to the election commission laws.

This list is published every year. Thanks to the rising number of new voters, the list is updated every few weeks.
