What an Indian Voter List Contains
A voter list (electoral roll) in India is prepared by the Election Commission of India for each assembly constituency. In Maharashtra, every page of the voter list includes fields such as the elector’s name, father’s/mother’s/husband’s name, age, gender, address, EPIC number, part number, and the polling station location. The name of the legislative assembly constituency appears in Marathi (मराठी), along with a part number that identifies the polling area within that constituency. Understanding these fields is essential when verifying your enrolment after relocating from Kerala to Maharashtra, or when helping a family member check their listing.
Key fields on a voter list page
Most pages contain a header with the state name, district, assembly constituency, and part number. The main table lists each elector’s serial number, EPIC (Electors Photo Identity Card) number, name, relation’s name, age, sex, and address. Polling station details are usually printed at the bottom of the page.
Maharashtra-specific elements: Assembly Constituency name in Marathi, Part Number, and Polling Station address
In Maharashtra, the assembly constituency name is printed in Marathi script, e.g. अलिबाग (Alibaug). The part number and polling station address also appear in Marathi. If you read only Malayalam, these headings will be unfamiliar; a translation helps confirm the correct part and station.
Common Marathi Terms in a Voter List
The table below lists typical Marathi terms found on a Maharashtra voter list page, with romanisation and English equivalents. This quick reference helps Malayalam-speakers identify each field.
| Marathi (Devanagari) | Romanisation | English |
|---|---|---|
| मतदार यादी | matadār yādī | voter list |
| मतदार संख्या | matadār saṅkhyā | voter number / EPIC |
| नाव | nāv | name |
| आडनाव | āḍnāv | surname |
| वदिलांचे नाव | vaḍilāṅcē nāv | father’s name |
| पत्ता | pattā | address |
| मतदान केंद्र | matadān kendra | polling station |
| विधानसभा मतदारसंঘ | vidhānasabhā matadārsaṅgha | legislative assembly constituency |
| भाग क्रमांक | bhāg kramāṅka | part number |
| वय | vaya | age |
| लिंग | liṅga | gender |
Why Translate a Marathi Voter List into Malayalam
A Malayalam speaker may need to verify their enrolment on a Maharashtra voter list if they have moved from Kerala for work or family reasons. Without translation, the Marathi headings and data are inaccessible, making it difficult to confirm that your name appears in the correct part and constituency.
Voter verification for relocation or family record keeping
Checking that your name is on the roll before an election, or ensuring elderly parents’ records are correct after a change of address, often requires reading the original PDF. A translation into Malayalam lets you or a family member review the entries with confidence.
Other uses: applying for a new EPIC or correcting entries
When submitting forms to the Electoral Registration Officer for a new EPIC card or correction of name/address, you may need to attach a copy of the relevant voter list page. A translated version helps you match the original Marathi entries to the application fields, reducing errors.
AI Translation vs Human-Certified Work for Electoral Documents
For internal review, understanding the contents, or preparing a draft for a certified translator, AI translation is sufficient. Lekhak’s AI produces a DOCX in minutes with all field labels and data translated while preserving the table structure. However, if the translation must be submitted to an election authority that explicitly requires a certified or notarised translation, you will need to arrange that separately through a qualified human translator or a notary — Lekhak does not provide certified translation services.
What Lekhak’s AI Translation Produces
Upload your Marathi voter list PDF or image to Lekhak, and you receive a DOCX file. The AI retains the row-column layout, translates all Marathi headings (मतदार संख्या, नाव, पत्ता, etc.) into Malayalam, and leaves numerical data such as part numbers and EPIC as-is. Personal identifiers like names and dates are of course preserved — we do not alter your data. The output is a clean, editable DOCX, not a PDF or a translator’s certificate. Pricing is available at lekhak.app/pricing.
When Notarisation or Attestation of a Voter List Translation Is Required
Most personal verification needs (checking your name, assisting a family member, preparing a draft for correction) do not require notarisation. If you are asked by a government authority to submit a notarised or apostilled translation of the voter list, you will need to obtain that from a notary public or the Ministry of External Affairs directly. Lekhak does not offer notarisation or attestation as a service.
How to Obtain a Duplicate Voter List from Maharashtra
If you have misplaced your original voter list page, you can download it from the ECI Voters’ Services Portal or the Maharashtra Chief Electoral Officer’s website. Search by entering your EPIC number or name and other details. The portal provides a PDF of the relevant part page, which you can then upload to Lekhak for translation.
