How to check your name on the voter list? Download voter slip online?
It is required that your name should appear on the Election Commission's electoral rolls. Once you have found your name on the electoral roll and you also possess an identification document prescribed above by the ECI (the voter ID card or any other acceptable document), you will be allowed to vote.
The ECI introduced a particular symbol for ‘None of the Above’ option to allow the voters to exercise NOTA. This symbol appears in the last panel on all Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs).
All you need to know about Exit polls
Agencies conducting an exit poll follow a range of different procedures or methods. One of the most common methods is sampling. These agencies might opt for random or systematic sampling.
Those citizens who have been declared by the law that they are unstable to vote or barred due to corrupt practices or any illegal act relating to elections are not entitled to be a voter.
The ECI while introducing NOTA indicated that although votes cast as NOTA are counted, they are invalid votes so they will not impact the result of the election process. Therefore, whether NOTA gets more or less votes, it is not taken into account for calculating the total valid votes.
EVM's run on normal battery and they do not require electricity. An EVM can be used to record a maximum of 2,000 votes.
Can I ask for a copy of VVPAT?
The VVPAT machine gives instant feedback to the voter, through a printed slip. Essentially, after a voter presses the button confirming their vote for their chosen candidate or NOTA, the VVPAT machine prints a slip containing the name of the candidate and the corresponding election symbol and automatically drops it in a sealed box.
