Single simplified Form for all services to voters eg. Registration, change of address, deletion of names etc. 
At present, citizens and electors use different forms for specific electoral service. Like, Form 6 for voter 
registration for the first time or in case of change in constituency, Form7 for deletion of names or filing 
objections, Form 8 for shifting of residence within the constituency, Form 8 (A) for correction of entries 
in existing electoral roll. Form 6 (A) for registration as the overseas voter and Form 1 for replacement of 
EPIC. Multiple numbers of forms create confusion and affect the efficiency in the process. It is now 
proposed to have a unified and simplified form for all services to voters.
Online registration of prospective voters at age of 17 years – registration facilities to be provided in 
schools and colleges. 
Democracy requires smooth transition of young citizen in the electoral roll the moment they become 
eligible to become elector. It requires creating a framework to facilitate such transition. Accordingly, it 
is recommended to have online registration facilities at the school/college level to all prospective voters 
at age of 17 years.
