The 60-second version
Voter address change uses Form 8 for correction/transposition within same constituency or new registration Form 6 if crossing states — I attach rent agreement or utility bill.
Form 8 for correction — Form 6 for new constituency
Returning NRIs who already hold EPIC but moved city need Form 8 transposition if within same PC or fresh Form 6 if permanent move to new state.
Address proof must match Aadhaar or utility bill within 90 days — BLO field verification may follow.
Name mismatch blocks address update — fix name first via name correction guide.
