What is e-EPIC?

e-EPIC stands for Electronic Electoral Photo Identity Card. It is the digital version of your Voter ID, issued by the Election Commission of India (ECI). Introduced in 2021, e-EPIC is a password-protected PDF that contains the same information as your physical plastic Voter ID card — your name, EPIC number, photo, address, and barcode.

The e-EPIC is legally valid as proof of identity at polling booths, in banks, and for government purposes where a Voter ID is required. You can store it on your phone, print it, or keep it in a digital locker like DigiLocker. It is free to download and can be re-downloaded any number of times.
