The platform integrates data from multiple sources to provide a comprehensive and accessible public dataset, along with references to past election information.
Our initiative aims to collect, curate, and present comprehensive election-related data with meaningful public-interest analysis, insights, and interpretations. We strive to make election data accessible, understandable, and useful for everyone. The primary objective is to ensure that reliable and structured information is available to a wide range of users, including the general public, political workers, researchers, and journalists.
The OpenDataKerala Election Data Portal represents a collaborative effort to democratize election data by promoting transparency, enabling research, and supporting informed public participation. By integrating technology with community-driven efforts and open data principles, the project contributes significantly to strengthening the digital public infrastructure surrounding elections.
The platform offers a range of features designed to enhance usability and deliver deeper insights. It provides general statistics on the 2026 Kerala Legislative Assembly Election, alongside analyses of party distribution and voter demographics like gender and age. Users can easily navigate and analyze specific data segments using custom filters for category, political party, and district.
For better accessibility, the portal features both table and map-based views. The table view provides detailed information through structured cards, with a dedicated card for each of the 140 legislative assembly constituencies. Each card includes the district, constituency number and name, number of polling booths, and voter demographics based on gender. It also provides key details on the contesting candidates, including their names, political parties, and alliances.
In addition, the platform provides historical election data for comparative analysis. This includes Kerala Legislative Assembly (Niyamasabha) election results for the years 2011, 2016, and 2021, presented through bar charts, stacked visualizations, and tabular formats. Lok Sabha election results are also included as reference data, similarly visualized using multiple formats to support deeper analysis.
To complement the tabular view, an interactive map allows users to explore the datasets geographically. By combining this spatial visualization with custom filtering and historical context, the platform empowers users to uncover deeper insights into electoral trends and patterns.

Details of the libraries used can be found in package.json.
