• How to keep the candidates keep their promises? India lacks voter empowerment

Chennai, March 12, 2021:

Amidst the election din and noise by various political parties, there is no talk about voter empowerment. Every political party is targeting votes, but there is hardly anyone who understands the voter and his/her concerns.Among the voters’ concerns, are the performance by the elected government and the promises made by candidates during election are quickly forgotten.BolSubol seems to be the answer. The online empowerment of voters that could address both issues effectively. 

The App launched by Demokratika has the strength to communicate with any candidate from the comfort of home. BolSubol is a non-partisan mobile app platform that combines verifiable trustworthy data & microblogging capabilities. The platform will be useful for electors, political parties and people interested in their country’s economic growth & political choices make fact-based decisions about voting.

The BolSubol App analysed the working age population of Tamil Nadu which constitutes 68.8% of the total electoral count, about 53% found the economic agenda and the performance cards of the MLAs and that of prospective candidates would matter to them the most. The survey showed also predicted that 65 % of the working population in urban areas & 80% in rural areas would execute their voting rights with informed decisions and prior studies.

The App has all the economic and political information about all the constituencies in India for over 60 years on an average. Says Sheshgiri, the Director of Demokratika, “The App is all about voter empowerment. Government and politics impact every aspect of our lives. Having knowledge of politics, changes in economic and social conditions helps make us an informed voter. A combination of governance data and engagement is needed to make the correct political choices in a democracy. Unfortunately, most of the digital platforms available the world over are social networking applications. These do not help in meaningful discussions or making fact-based decisions. An informed voter is an empowered voter.”

Continues Ritesh Verma, Director, Demokratika, “The noise levels in Assam, Kerala, Puducherry, Tamil Nadu and West Bengal are to be heard to be believed. Except the election commission’s efforts, not much seems to be done by political parties involved on voter empowerment. Besides ‘I am better than my rival’, there is very little that the political parties have to offer. It gets even more serious when there are different political parties at the State and the Centre.’

The BolSubol App, on a voters’ smartphone, will enable to get historical, economic, demographic, social and electoral data of the constituency, it will also provide news & views and also key government schemes and focus actions. Adds Sheshgiri, for the first time, the world witnesses a powerful microblogging tool at the exclusive service of the Indian voter. Our microblogging will have the combined strengths of Twitter, Reddit andInstagram, for the benefit of the voter. While most of the features (including the download) are free, there are some features kept in the paid section.

There is also an Election Knowledge Game that users can play. This game allows prediction of winners and projection of seats for each party in the various elections. Past election data is used to simulate probabilities.
