To verify their name in the electoral roll, a voter must visit the 'Voters' Service Portal' by accessing electoralsearch.eci.gov.in on their mobile phones or computers on any web browser. 

Once the voters access the portal, they can choose from the following search options:

Search By Details: Enter necessary details like Name, Surname, Date of Birth, etc. Then enter the CAPTCHA and click the 'Search' button.

Search By EPIC: Select language, enter the EPIC number (found on the voter ID), choose the state, input the CAPTCHA, and click on the 'Search' button.

Search By Mobile: Choose the state and language, then enter the mobile number registered with the voter ID, input the CAPTCHA, and click the 'Search' button.
