In the KAP survey it was found that 25% of the registered citizens were non-voters, as enough information about the political parties were not available. 17% of the voters have informed that it is difficult to stand in queue to vote. 7.5% voters are not voting as there was not enough information about the contestants. Suryasen, Joint Chief Election officer stated that this app was developed to serve these very doubts. This app’s dashboard and web portal is based on geographical information services ( GIS) and all the information related to the previous election, constituency details along with comparative studies are available.
