Normally a summary/special revision of Electoral Roll is being conducted every year, when Designated Officers (mostly Assistant Teachers of Primary Schools) sit at the polling stations for receiving claims & objections in respect of existing entries in the Electoral Roll, which are subsequently disposed off by the Assistant Electoral Registration Officers through hearing/enquiry at the Gram Panchayat level by serving notices in that regard on the applicants. Appeal, if any in this regard may be made to the Electoral Registration Officers.

Every elector should possess an Elector's Photo Identity Card (EPIC) which is prepared and distributed to the electors free of cost as per the guidelines of the Election Commission of India.

For getting a new EPIC, duplicate EPIC or to rectify any error in the respect of the photograph or any other entry in the existing EPIC, an elector has to apply to the ERO in the specified forms.
