Hi Harry,
Thanks for uploading the shapefiles. I opened the Punjab AC shapfiles in R.
The constituency names in the shapefile don't match with the current 2017
constituency names (as reported in HT maps posted by your team). For
example, the first few names are
> punjab.shp$AC_NAME(# R
UPDATE: I changed the structure of the directories a little bit. Here's
shapes for states and UTs:

to come...

The electoral list PDF usually has a hand drawn map. But it is not worth
the effort (i was involved in such an effort in the past). The boundaries
of the booth change every six months and that too in a random fashion.
Further the map is often out of sync with the actual content of the
voterlist.
Any clues on how to get shapefile/boundaries at the polling booth level?
