Form 6 registration and corrections
When registering as a new voter with Form 6 on voters.eci.gov.in, upload a recent passport-size photograph that meets the portal limits. The same photo standard applies when submitting corrections to an existing EPIC.
- Keep the expression neutral so the roll photo stays clear for years
- Use a plain background with even lighting
- Check the preview on the portal before final submit
One photo for many IDs
The 35x45mm white-background standard is shared by voter ID, Aadhaar, PAN, passport, and driving licence. A single recent, well-lit photo can cover all of them, which is why it pays to get the master shot right once.
