An internet search revealed
Luckily, my mobile phone number was already available in the system, so when I clicked on sign-up, it indicated that my number is already registered. Then tried log in - an OTP was sent to my phone, and I could log in.
The process which I followed was
- Using the search function, found my name in the 2002 electoral rolls - it was on page 2 or 3, I skimmed through the results based on polling station name (we need to be able to read Telugu, the local language, for doing this.) I saved the info listed there - Assembly constituency, polling station and
- Next, went to the home page and clicked on "Fill Enumeration form"
- We have to go through several OTPs, confirm our details, ensure that the name displayed is the same name as on Aadhaar - otherwise we need to do the form submission manually, details of the BLO (Booth Level Officer) are displayed.
- Then the form opens up, where we need to fill up details and a recent photograph. The initial photographs I uploaded were not recognized "no face was recognized in this photograph" or something like that, after a wait of a minute or two. Thinking that this might be due to spectacles in the picture, clicked a new photo of myself without spectacles, and tried the upload.
- Yesterday at around 2.30 pm, the form came up for submission after that, though the photo was not visible in the preview. But when I clicked on submit, the "Aadhaar OTP" method of verification did not succeed, it said wrong OTP every time.
- This morning at around 8.50 am, went through the same process, this time the "Aadhaar OTP" method of verification was successful - again had to wait for a few minutes after uploading the photo in order to get the submit form enabled - and I got a downloadable receipt of the form submitted, with the new polling station number, constituency name and so on.
- Found that I could also download my voter-id card (EPIC - Election Photo Identity Card) - from https://voters.eci.gov.in/
