Bhubaneswar: Election Commission of India has started the Electors Authentication Programme (EAP) from August 1, 2022, in which the electors are to link their Aadhaar number (on Voluntary Basis) or any other documents to the EPIC using Form 6B.
A voter can submit the form to BLO or they can do it online using Voter Helpline App or nvsp.in or voterportal.eci.gov.in in online mode. The objective of the programme is to purify the Electoral Roll and strengthen the health of the Electoral Roll by removing Duplicate entries.
