EPIC Card Now Delivered in Just 15 Days After Name Update or Registration
In a move that could change how fast voters get their identity cards, the Election Commission of India (ECI) has rolled out a new system aimed at quick distribution of Voter ID cards, otherwise known as EPIC (Electors Photo Identity Card). No longer will new voters or those updating their details have to wait endlessly. Now, within just 15 days of getting their name added or modified in the voter list, the EPIC will be at their doorstep.
This is a part of a chain of voter-centric changes that have been introduced by the Commission over the past four months. The Election Commission of India (ECI) is leaving no stone unturned to facilitate voting to all. This large measure not only suggests time saving but also gives confidence to the people to have faith in the system of voting.
Voters Will Get SMS Updates on Card Status
Now, the process includes real-time updates. From the moment your Voter ID card begins its journey from the Election Registration Officer to your local post office every step will be tracked. Voters won’t be left in the dark. Instead, they’ll get SMS alerts straight to their phones, letting them know where their card is at any given time. It’s like tracking an online package, but better it’s your voting identity.
Boost in Service Speed Along With Strong Data Protection
To make this system work seamlessly, the ECI has launched an upgraded digital platform called ECInet. This new web technology is a complete new redesign of the old system that will abolish the wait and simplify the process. The website is streamlined with a smoother flow and talks directly to the Postal Department API for smooth and fast delivery.
But speed isn’t the only focus here; data security is also a top priority. With rising concerns about information safety, the ECI has built safeguards into this platform to protect voters’ details every step of the way. This isn’t just a new rule, it’s a major step towards a smarter, faster, and more reliable voter service. The Election Commission is clearly signalling that the days of slow, uncertain electoral services are over.
