fyi ...EC GIS maps for assembly constituencies

[Avinash Celestine]

Apologies if this has already come up in the past on this group, but the EC's polling station locator site (psleci.nic.in), now has kml files for ACs for a number of states. the links are in the source of main page (zip files).

however, not all states are there. states such as Tamil Nadu, J&K, Kerala, Nagaland etc are not there. files for majority of states are available.

I have not explored all the files. only maharashtra. it opens fine in something like fusion tables, but in a software like qgis, all the attribute data gets stripped out.

regards

Avinash

Hi Avinash,

That's a great Find.

The data is in a KML format, but contains some tags which are not parts of the KML Spec. Hence QGis and other Software won't be able to open the Attributes, but they are pretty much there.

I don't have time for a couple of days, nor do I good Internet. So I'll request that someone please download all these files in case they are removed. 

I'll try to write a script over the Next week to convert this data to something that we can all use.

Regards,

Devdatta Tengshe

Finally we have some geographic data. Thanx very much for sharing this.

But the state borders look slightly offset, both goggle and OSM have borders different from that of the kml. Atleast this is the case for Andhra Pradesh.

Hi All,

I've converted the KML files available on this site to Shapefiles.

This was done using a software called FME, which I can access at work.

I'm not sure that all the polygons are correct(Some appear to be shifted from known boundries), so please check the data before using it.

Hi Devdatta,

Hope you are doing well.

Did you have any luck converting the ECI kml files to shapefiles? I tried a bunch of things but have had no success. I am not a coder unfortunately.

Cheers

Looks like they are available too.

Here the converted files for Assam & Nagaland.

Looking at the data,i.e. the Status Field, I can see that for the states of J&K, Jhakhand, Assam, Manipur, Nagaland & Arunachal Pradesh, they have given pre delimitation boundaries. ( I don't have the pre-delimitation boundaries right now to check). So use these files with caution. I'll try to push all the data to the datameet repository soon.
