Hello everyone, Looks like there is lot of interest in extracting election data from PDFs. I've started extracting lot of data from voter lists, esp. for Bangalore.
All the data is still sitting in my server. Couple of samples: http://d.anandology.com/karnataka/pdfs/AC154/AC1540111.json I started a project to put all these things in a good shape, expose them on a website with a nice API. https://github.com/anandology/opendata-ge2014 If any of you already working on such things, please let me know. There is no point duplicating each others efforts.
