Google and Jaagore launch an online voter list search engine

Is my name there in the voter’s list? How do I search for my name in the voter’s list?

There are several ways to search for your name in the voter’s list.

Option 1: Google, Jaagore search engine

Let me start with a new way of doing it, as it is the easiest and fastest. Google and Jaagore have launched an online voter list search engine, supposedly first of its kind. I got this reference in an email from Jaagore. My first impression - Its fast and well presented. But dont expect the data correctness to be any different than when you access the Govt website (option 2), since the database for both searches is likely to be the same.

Option 2: Govt websites of respective Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) -

[Update Apr 20, 2009] There is a 24X7 Helpline that has been set up for voter list related enquiries. In Bangalore, the number is 2222 8888. I called them up and they helped find my name in the voters list. I tried to search it online (from Govt website) and it wasnt available, but this call helped me to track my name in the voter’s list. Try it out and also spread this word to your other friends.
