Do booth agents in villages know how to use it?

The agent screen is deliberately three buttons: check-in, mark this voter as turned out, log a complaint. It is designed to be usable by a first-time smartphone user with fifteen minutes of hands-on training. The complexity lives on the ward-in-charge and war-room screens.

Does it need internet at the booth?

No. The agent app works fully offline and syncs whenever a signal returns. Booth-day operations in constituencies like Bidar, Chamarajanagar and parts of the Vidarbha belt would collapse without this — the app assumes 2G-or-nothing as the baseline and treats any better connection as a bonus.

Is voter data safe on personal phones?

Agent phones only ever see the voters mapped to that agent's booth — typically 900 to 1,200 records — and the data is encrypted at rest. On logout or removal, the local cache is wiped. The full roll never sits on a booth agent's device.

What happens to the app and data after the election?

The app can continue as a grievance-tracking and constituency-office tool for the full term at a fraction of the campaign-period cost, or it can be shut down and the data handed over. Either way, source and data ownership are yours.

Election Management App for Indian Campaigns | Booth Agent & Voter App

Election Management App

On polling day the war room needs three things every twenty minutes: which booth agents have shown up, what the running turnout is booth-by-booth, and which of our voters have not yet come out. An election management app is what turns that from a WhatsApp forwarding chain into a single screen the candidate can look at between rallies.

What the app replaces

Six months of PDFs, twelve overlapping WhatsApp groups, one Excel sheet with 300 tabs, and a ward-in-charge who insists he has the booth roster in his head. Every campaign we take over is running on some version of this stack. The app replaces it with role-based access — candidate, campaign manager, ward-in-charge, booth agent — each seeing exactly the screen they need and no more.

Voter database with the search a booth agent actually uses

The electoral roll is loaded and indexed at onboarding. A booth agent searches by name, roll number, part number, mobile last-four, or by tapping a family cluster on a booth-level map. Voter slips generate with a QR code that speeds up polling-station queue time by two to three minutes per voter. Every slip issued is logged against the agent who issued it and the household it went to.

Booth-day operations

GPS-stamped agent check-in at 6:45 AM tells the war room which of the 210 booths are unmanned before polling starts, so a replacement can be dispatched. Hourly turnout is captured against a pre-loaded booth roster of our identified voters — the app flags booths where our vote is under-turning out and pushes a task to the ward-in-charge to run a call round. At 4:30 PM it switches to a get-out-the-vote mode and lists non-turnouts by phone number.

Counting day and round-by-round tracker

Counting agents submit each round's totals through the app the moment the ARO reads them out. Aggregation is live at seat, segment and booth-cluster level, with a running trend chart against the survey model's booth-wise predictions. This is what tells the candidate at round eleven of eighteen whether to walk to the counting hall or wait — a call worth making from data, not from the mood of a partisan crowd.

Grievance capture and 180-day post-poll utility

The app does not become useless the day after counting. Grievance capture with photo and GPS starts on day one of the term — a broken transformer, a stalled pension, a water-supply complaint — logs the citizen, tags the ward officer, and closes the loop when it is fixed. Constituency offices that run this well see their re-election tracker rise 6–9 points across the term.
