There are five different ways by which you can link your Voter ID with your Aadhaar, both online or offline options included.
For this, you first need your Voter ID card number, your Aadhaar card, and your registered mobile number or email ID.
The methods are as follows:
Go to the NVSP's official website or the Voters' Service portal and register. If you are already registered, you can log in using an OTP.
Then scroll down to the 'Aadhaar collection' option and click on 'Fill Form 6B' to get your Aadhaar and Election Photo Identity Card (EPIC). You must have your EPIC number added to your profile. It is written on your Voter ID next to the bar code (above your photograph).
Enter your EPIC number and click on 'Verify & Fill Form,' select your preferred language, and click on 'Next' after filling all the sections of ‘Form 6B.’

The Election Commission of India (ECI) also has a Voter Helpline App for both Android and iOS which can be used to link Aadhaar and Voter ID.
For this, you have to install the app. Then click on 'Explore,' and 'Log in,' press on 'Voter Registration,' select the 'Aadhaar Number Submission (Form 6B)' option and click on 'Let's Start.'
Afterwards, select 'Yes I Have Voter ID number' and press on 'Next.' Enter your Voter ID number (EPIC) and all the other required details before clicking on 'Proceed' and typing in your Aadhaar card number, authentication location, and registered mobile number.
After that, select 'Done,' review the details, and tap on 'Confirm' to finalize and submit 'Form 6B' for the voter card Aadhaar link process.
This can be done by locating the nearest Booth Level Officer (BLO) to your residence which can be done using the ECI website.
You have to then fill the application form for the voter card Aadhaar card link. The BLO will then run a verification process before linking both IDs.
