If you are a first time voter, these tips will help you vote comfortably during the upcoming Lok Sabha polls. Remember that to be able to vote your name must appear in the electoral list also called as voter list. Once you have located the booth in which you have to vote, follow these simple tips to vote for your preferred candidate.

As you enter the booth, the first polling officer will check your name on the voter list and verify your ID proof.

The second polling officer will ink your finger and issue you a slip. You will have to sign in a register (Form 17A)

Deposit the slip given to you with the third polling officer and show the inked finger to be permitted to proceed to the EVM.

You will find buttons against the list of candidates contesting in the given constituency. The candidate name will occur along with the symbol allotted to the party. In the EVM, press the button against the candidate to whom you wish to vote for. The beep sound you will hear indicates your vote is accepted.

The candidate’s name and symbol that you have voted for will be displayed in the screen of the VVPAT for seven seconds before the slip drops into the sealed VVPAT box. This process helps you verify that you have registered your vote rightly.

You are free to press the button against NOTA if you do not wish to vote for any candidate. This is the last button on the EVM.
