Hi, Some sharings, queries and call for information on elections 2024 (a bit late!)
*1. Have the Parliamentary Constituencies seen any changes in their delimitations after 2019 elections?* Related links: Shapes: https://github.com/datameet/maps/tree/master/parliamentary-constituencies You can download just the folder using : https://download-directory.github.io/ For comparing with official ECI release: ECI press notes page : https://elections24.eci.gov.in/eci-updates.html There, at the bottom "General Election Schedule" opens a PDF which starts showing maps from pg59 onwards. direct link which might not directly open <https://elections24.eci.gov.in/docs/press-note-no-23.pdf> I've made high-res images of these pages and saved them here: https://server.nikhilvj.co.in/elections24/ Full India map from the ECI's PDF : https://server.nikhilvj.co.in/elections24/p-059-india-all-PCs-map.png J&K : I know there's changes. If anyone can share the new shapes of J&K PCs, would be really helpful. *2. Is there an interactive map of the Parliamentary Constiuencies, with election dates and other info?* If *not*, then one crowd-sourcing appeal: a. Open this google spreadsheet and request editing access (I'll approve if you don't sound like a spammer), or just do commenting: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Zj39sgQNqxN_iFRKDZ-itkJIZiELExpjwU_xB_6_C84/edit?usp=sharing b. Using the PDF mentioned above, find in the voting (also called "polling") date for the constituency, and paste it into this sheet. You can start from pg.63 onwards.. Some states are happening all at-a-go so those should be easier to tag. If yes, then pls ignore a & b and just share link to the interactive map, thanks much! *How filling the google spreadsheet can help:* I have shapefile with these columns. I can merge back in the election dates and publish the map. Here's a raw version without the dates: https://server.nikhilvj.co.in/elections24/2019-PCs-simp1.html Disclaimer : it's directly a render of the datameet 2019 PCs data, with a 100meter simplification done to reduce size. there are gaps in the shape data and some areas left out. That doesn't mean those folks can't vote, pls don't take it that way. -- Cheers, Nikhil VJ https://nikhilvj.co.in -- Datameet is a community of Data Science enthusiasts in India.
