We have three tracks for the hackathon based on the datasets. The datasets will hopefully be available locally at the event in a considerably sane format for everyone to consume. More details soon.

We will add details about the datasets whenever we have them. Meanwhile, if you have ideas, please populate the sections below.

Main event website: Open Data Camp 2014

The Election Data is broadly what we have been collecting in the Datameet Github repository. If you have ideas on what we can do with the data, please note them below:

Types of Data Present

• Election data; polling, voter rolls, shapefiles
• Daksh India Voter Perception Survey
• ECI Polling locations

Ideas

1. Mapping voter perception with growth indicators
2. Creating Tools to help voters find their polling location
3. Scrape Bangalore - Polling locations and adding it to openbangalore.org/maps
4. Match candidate names across years.

Datasets 2011 Household Tables and Primary Census Abstract

Ideas

1. Can we work on getting Census data in to electoral constituencies?
2. Consolidate census data from here per state. - either one table of all variable for the whole country. Or all variables per state in a table.
3. Calculate percentage of missing voters using Census and Electoral voting data for each constituency.
   1. This is tricky. Census is always at the district level and it will involve aggregating the voters list to the district level.

Ideas to create with Journalists

1. What are some of the most used words, phrases, promises on politicians websites?
2. What are political parties talking about the most?
3. How are the schemes doing? Can we tie them to MP/MLA constituencies and assess how an elected official has performed?

1. Find all the datasets that is shared on the datameet Google groups and create a catalog.
2. Write/draft letter to ECI about releasing the AC/PC shapefiles.
3. Expand the wishlist for election related data.
4. New election method to store upcoming election data properly, so that new data are not at least messed up and a unique election process(migrants can vote for location they belong).
