[Pratap Vardhan]

Hi All,

First-cut data scrapped from http://eciresults.nic.in/ hosted at https://github.com/pratapvardhan/Elections-India-2014

Do contribute with anything interesting you find with data.

This would be eventually moved to https://github.com/datameet/india-election-data

As of now, we have data for-

Candidate-wise votes list

Constituency-wise winners & runners list

Thanks

Pratap,
thanks for sharing the script and the data.
I ran it this morning, and had to update a few things to get it to run on my windows machine, but otherwise it was a breeze.

There are many interesting facts in this dataset, and I hope to put out some interesting Maps and infographics based on it.

Now just waiting for the last two seats to be declared, so that we can run it on the final dataset.
Regards,
Devdatta

Thanks so much for uploading this. But there is a small discrepancy. Data for 3 constituencies are missing - Bhandara-Gondiya, Ratnagiri-Sindhudurg, Bardhaman-Durgapur.

Hello to all,

Thanks for this data.

I was wondering if there is a way to Uniquely identify the Contestant
If someone wants to create a track record of the contestants over period then this is important
Just name is not sufficient.

I tried to look for Duplicate Name&Party combinations

Including independents there are 97 duplicate combinations
Excluding independents there are 16
 7 candidates named as Chandu Lal Sahu contested  from Chhattisgarh, Mahasamund
Since they are from same constituency there are obviously different individuals.

However there is no way to differentiate multiple persons with same name and Same person contesting in two constituencies.
Any way out?

Can use the candidate_id from myneta.info . (also it includes S/O information)

This will be a tough nut to crack with just the name.. especially because fielding 'dummy candidates' with same or very similar names is a fairly common practice.. Used to split votes.. As employed by the veteran ajit jogi in mahasamund.. Maybe eci will make some kind of identification number mandatory in future, or they have already.

And,

Have sanitized the eci data little bit and added turnout data pc-wise-turnout.csv and state-wise-turnout.csv files to the repo.

PC-names are in sync with eci-candidate-wise.csv and easy to merge and lookup.

Pratap

Does anyone has the list of women winners? We know the number of women winners (61) and from which states they come from from this DTE link, but does any their names and CS?

Will appreciate any help.

Thanks,

Hi All,

I came across the Indian elections Masters in datameet which has scraped information from myneta.info. That is for candidates for National elections, I was looking for the same information but for candidates in state elections, that is from assembly constituencies. Also, their assets and liabilities or election expenditures.
I was wondering if anyone has this data or plans to scrap it. 

Thanks,

Chitra
