- Your name is already registered in another constituency - you need Form 8 (address shift) instead of Form 6
- Address proof document shows a different address from what was entered in the form
Steps after rejection:
- Note the rejection reason shown on the status page.
- Correct the specific issue - update your documents, ensure your name and address match exactly, or arrange to be present for the next BLO visit.
- Resubmit the same form (Form 6 or Form 8) on voters.eci.gov.in. There is no penalty or waiting period for resubmission.
- If unclear about the rejection reason, call 1950 or visit your nearest ERO office.
