OCI requiring Voter ID surrender

So the new OCI process is requiring that I submit a voter ID surrender certificate. Now, I don’t recall if I ever held one or just misplaced it and I also tried searching for the EPIC number on https://electoralsearch.eci.gov.in/ but there were no results. Do voter ids get automatically cancelled after a certain time? (I moved over 13 years ago to Canada)

  1. What can I do now? How should I go about this with BLS for my OCI?
  2. will my kid’s OCI application require this voter surrender certificate?
