Candidate Online Nomination

To facilitate filling of nominations, the Election Commission is introducing an online portal for filling the nomination & affidavit. The Candidate can visit https://suvidha.eci.gov.in/ to create his/her account , file nomination , deposit the security money , check availability of time slot and appropriately plan his visit to the Returning Officer.

Once the application is filled through the online portal, the candidate only needs to take a printout, get it notarised and submit the application along with relevant documents to the Returning Officer in person. The application so printed from Online Portal will contain an encrypted QR code. Upon presentation of the application in front of the Returning Officer, details are verified by RO using a specially designed QR code reader. As the software connects with the electoral database directly, upon filling EPIC Number, the system auto-fetches the details of candidates and proposers and pre-fills the details. Candidate also gets various alerts and notifications through the Portal and also through the SMS.

The Online Nomination Facility is an optional facility and the regular offline submission as prescribed under the law shall continue too.
