App with election information launched for voters ahead of polls

Startup firm Demokratika has launched a mobile application - BolSubol app- to give voters all poll-related information.

The firm said that the app would help voters understand the elections better and provide them with relevant information and analysis on the political parties, candidates and performance.

The app also has the strength to communicate with any candidate from the comfort of their homes.


The firm also said the platform will be useful for electors, political parties and people interested in their country’s economic growth & political choices to make fact-based decisions about voting.

The app can help a user understand many seemingly confusing results. The App has all the economic and political information about all the constituencies in India for over 60 years on an average.

Sheshgiri, the Director of Demokratika said, “The App is all about voter empowerment. Government and politics impact every aspect of our lives. Having knowledge of politics, changes in economic and social conditions helps make us an informed voter. A combination of governance data and engagement is needed to make the correct political choices in a democracy. Unfortunately, most of the digital platforms available the world over are social networking applications. These do not help in meaningful discussions or making fact-based decisions. An informed voter is an empowered voter.”

Ritesh Verma, Director, Demokratika, “The noise levels in Assam, Kerala, Puducherry, Tamil Nadu and West Bengal are to be heard to be believed. Except the election commission’s efforts, not much seems to be done by political parties involved on voter empowerment. Besides ‘I am better than my rival’, there is very little that the political parties have to offer. It gets even more serious when there are different political parties at the State and the Centre.”
