In our last article, we have explained how to apply for voter id online. And once successfully applying for Voter ID your Reference Id gets generated with which you can easily track the status of your voter card application.

Methods to Get Back Lost Voter ID Reference Id or Number
NVSP Portal doesn’t provide any option to recover or retrieve back lost reference number by searching with applicant details. However, once you submit your voter id application it generates reference id number which you should note down or take a screenshot of the screen for future reference.
So if you have taken a screenshot of that screen then just refer to that screenshot to find out your reference number.
Another source to get your voter id reference number back is just check your phone inbox, as once successfully submitting the application you will receive the reference id of your application on your mobile number via SMS.
If you are unsuccessful with the above two modes to retrieve back your voter id reference no, then you can follow the below method.
Check Your Voter ID Application is approved by Searching Electoral Roll
