Correct or update your electoral-roll entry with Form 8

Who this is for

An enrolled voter whose recorded details or ordinary-residence address have changed.

Before you start

Keep your EPIC or electoral-roll details available. Read the live Form 8 and its guidelines before choosing a service; the portal may ask for evidence related to your request.

Key points

• Form 8 is listed by ECI for an existing elector seeking correction, shifting of residence, replacement EPIC, or marking as a person with disability. Use the live form to confirm the option that matches your case.
• This guide does not decide whether a particular proof will be accepted. ERO review and current form instructions govern the application.

What to prepare

• Your existing electoral record or EPIC details, if available.
• Documents that support the exact correction or new address requested. Check the current Form 8 guidelines for the applicable evidence.

Steps

1. Open the official Voters’ Services Portal and choose Form 8 from the forms list.
2. Tick one service that matches your request: correction, shifting, replacement EPIC, or disability marking. Fill the relevant section and strike out sections that do not apply, as Form 8 instructs.
3. Enter the requested details carefully and attach the evidence the current form asks for. Review the declaration before submitting.
4. Save the acknowledgement or reference number. Use the official application-status service and check the updated electoral roll after the request is decided.

Common mistakes to avoid

• Using Form 6 for an existing entry instead of the current Form 8 path.
• Selecting “shifting” when you only need a correction, or the reverse.
• Assuming that submitting the form changes the roll immediately.

Short answers

If something goes wrong

• If the portal does not show the right service, open the current Form 8 instructions or ask your ERO/BLO which official route applies.
• If an upload fails, follow the file requirements shown in the live portal and keep your reference number.
• For unresolved voter-service questions, use the ECI contact options shown on the official portal.
