What the part number and serial number on your voter record mean, and how they help you find the right booth on polling day.
Your voter record includes three details that matter on polling day: your polling station, your part number and your serial number. Knowing them in advance saves time in the queue.
What each detail means
| Detail | What it means | Why it helps |
|---|---|---|
| Assembly constituency | The constituency in which you are registered | Confirms you are on the right roll |
| Part number & name | The section of the electoral roll for your area, usually linked to one polling station | Identifies which roll the polling staff will check |
| Serial number | Your entry number within that part | Lets polling staff find your name quickly |
| Polling station | The building where you vote | Tells you where to go on polling day |
How to find them
