How to get Voter ID card?

There has been lot of activity during the past few days around 2014 general elections and many of my friends have shown their interest and posted lots of things about the same. I thought it would be great if these people could vote in next general elections and hence this post.

There are two ways how you can get your voter id card made. 

I got my voter id card made with the help of Jaago Re campaign by Tata Teat just before previous general elections. Not sure if they're still active, but the process was very smooth.
If they're not active now, here is how you can get your voter id made:
1. Go to http://eci-citizenservices.nic.in
2. Register using your mobile number and email id. You'll receive an sms with a verification code. 
3. Enter the verification code and then enter the registration details
4. Login using the mobile number and password set by you
5. Click on "Submit New Application For Inclusion/Deletion/Modification in E-Roll" as shown below:

6. Choose your State -> District -> Assembly in the given order


7. You'll see 5 forms as shown below:

    a. Form6: Application for Inclusion of name in Electoral Roll
    b. Form6A: Application for Inclusion of NRI name in Electoral Roll
    c. Form7: Application for Objecting or seeking deletion of name in Electoral Roll 
    d. Form8: Application for Correction to particular entry in Electoral Roll
    e. Form8A: Application for Transposition of entry in Electoral Roll

Chose the form as per your needs and you're set to go. As the voter id application takes some to be processed, it is advisable to get it made as early as possible. 

So, get your voter id made and vote next year if you are really interested in making this country a better place, rather than cribbing about the infinite problems that we have. As Joseph-Marie rightly said "Every nation gets the government it deserves". Let's make every vote count :)

Please feel free to comment if there is anything that you would like to add.
