Elector Search Himachal Mobile App is developed for State Election Commission, Himachal Pradesh (HP) by NIC, Himachal Pradesh. The Electoral Rolls are prepared by the respective Electoral Registration Officers (SDMs) and Assistant Electoral Registration Officers (BDOs) under the superintendence, direction and control of the State Election Commission (SEC) to hold elections for Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRI) and Urban Local Bodies (ULB). These Electoral Rolls are prepared using Electoral Roll Management System (ERMS) software developed by NIC Himachal Pradesh for State Election Commission, Himachal Pradesh. The rolls are being prepared and maintained using this software since 2010.
The next general elections for PRI/ ULB is scheduled for January 2021 in HP and the work of Electoral Roll publishing is in the final stage. The Electoral Rolls are prepared Ward/ Polling Station-wise and are published on the web after each revision. The app helps electors of the state to search their name in these rolls to find out the exact details of their vote. They are provided with the District, Block/ ULB, Ward, Polling Station (wherever valid), relative name, age, EPIC number, House No, their ward and ward extent etc. The user has the option to either use free text search or in case the user is sure about the exact constituency (Panchayat Ward or ULB Ward), the user may select the location where the name needs to be searched.
The web API is based on an elastic search to provide speedy results. The app is available both on Android and iOS.
