The Elector registration and form processing has been the core work of election officials across the nation for maximizing the citizen participation in the elections.



In the year 2000, States/ UTs were allotted EPIC series to handle by their own. States/ UTs were independently managing the Electoral Database. So the form processing was a tough task as all the states were having disparate applications, starting from Excel to an oracle that was state specific to manage the electoral registration process. The cost of managing multiple data centers with different service providers was itself a difficult task. The elector management process also faces issues in the case of migration which results in multiple entries of the same elector.

There were many difficulties faced by ECI in maintaining a Electoral register, like manual data entry mistake, Human Error, multiple entries, different software used by different States/ UTs.


To overcome these issues and facilitate in electoral registration, amendment etc. a web-based solution, known as ERONET, was developed to help Electoral officials, to handle all the processes starting from registration, migration, and deletion of names from the electoral roll and maintain a common database. It was launched in 2017.

There are multiple platforms through which we can submit different forms in ERONET, such as, voters.eci.gov.in, voter helpline app, BLO app, and Voter Portal. 

Thereafter, ERO/ AERO checks the application for the process further in ERONET. Among other things ERONET helps all the election officials to maintain the electoral system by removal of duplicate entries and inclusion of migrated electors.
