Dear all,
just a follow-up to this oldish thread: I recently switched to the
newest version of TesserAct OCR to transform buggy PDF rolls to text -
and it works surprisingly well. Small typos here and there, but that can
be rectified. In case anyone else looks for a solution to this...
Best,
Hi Siddhart,
for my UP dataset, I used spatial matching of polling booth locations
against the MODIS urban extent satellite layer of 2002 - tends to be
larger urban centres, though. Another option is to look at how many
polling stations have multiple booths [polling stations being defined
as
Hi Avinash and all,
I realized that each constituency falls within only one district in your
file, but there are constituencies that span several districts and vice
versa (rare, but it happens). I attached a list of those, extracted from
polling-station data on eci-polldaymonitoring.nic.in. These
thanks. the rule, as far as i remember, is that ACs are entirely contained
within a district boundary. PCs, on the other hand, can span across
district boundaries.

Hey Avinash et al,
using population figures for matching is a neat idea, great!
Meanwhile, I made both legal (licensing issues) and mathematical
progress on matching 2001 Census villages to 2014 polling booths. I have
a large conference next week which might delay things, but I expect to

Might well be the rule (I remember having read something like this,
too), but the reality apparently differs (at least in the EC's own
data)... Never depend on rules, check them! ;-)

Interjecting in a fantastic conversation... (Kudos to Avinash Raphael and
others for the efforts to mix/match AC-PC and administrative
jurisdictions)..
There is no direct containment of ACs within a district. Case in point is
Delhi, where ACs dont' fit single districts at all.
Avinash,
Trouble
hmm yes thats true. its basically an inefficient way to engineer seat gains
- there are many other more efficient ways!

Hi Avinash,
Thanks a ton for pointing out the excel files with delimitation. I read
what you wrote. Will take a look at the zip fie and cross-check. I too had
hoped the district mapping was contiguous with some political boundaries,
but they aren't. Bangalore, funnily has a ward (44 I think)

Hi all,
apropos Anand Doshi's https://gist.github.com/anandpdoshi/9448203 -
does somebody have the same table including AC constituency ID codes
(rather than just names)?
I have that for some states.
Added couple of more states.

Hi Anand (Chitipothu),
Can I know the source from where you get the polling booth and ward data?
Is it individual for each state and does it provide the lat-long for the
polling booths?
Thanks,
Indro

Hey Avinash,
yep - thats what I figured, too. Not only misplaced matras (those could
be rearranged), but a real garbling, which cannot be resolved as far as
I see. Worse, there isnt even a clear pattern - for a few
constituencies, I fed the Voter ID (which is in latin script) to the
search roll
oh i see so its worse than i thought :-(
you are right. I doubt the EC will fix it (for entirely good reasons on
their part - they have more important things to worry about).
I am trying a couple of alternative methods. Let me see if anything works -
I will report back. For now, the OCR seems to
Hi Anand,
Thanks, but the csv link me only has the PC to AC mapping (still awesomely
useful!).
Also hoping for ward level details. My intent isn't necessarily focused on
Voter Rolls. It's on the larger census data itself. What % of the
population is enrolled at the PC (or AC or Ward) level?
Hey Siddhart, and Anand,
I, too, am really interested in this, but have not made much progress
yet. I think there are two ways to do this, neither of which is
straightforward.
The extract ward/village mentioned in roll PDF strategy is one option.
Depending on raw data, this can however be
well i checked out the unicode table and it only confirms what we knew
anyway... that there's duplication of unicode hex values for different
characters...
So i guess its back to the drawing board.
