Gonda is the division headquarters and its largest rural frame: 4 tehsils, 16 blocks and 1,821 villages. Its seven seats split between two MPs. Mehnaun, Gonda, Mankapur and Gaura vote in the Gonda Lok Sabha constituency; Katra Bazar, Colonelganj and Tarabganj vote in Kaiserganj. An election survey agency in Gonda has to keep those groups apart, and a political survey company in Gonda should read Colonelganj next to Bahraich's Kaiserganj segment, not next to Gonda city.
Sixteen blocks is a large area for a door to door survey agency in Gonda, so routes are planned block by block with daily targets. Household studies, scheme monitoring by a data collection agency in Gonda and rural retail work for a market research company in Gonda all use that same block plan, and a survey agency in Gonda that skips it tends to over-sample the villages nearest the district town. The booth management app Gonda teams use stores booth reports offline.

Bahraich borders Nepal and lists both Hindi and Urdu as district languages, so questionnaires are tested in both registers before fieldwork. Five seats, Balha, Nanpara, Matera, Mahasi and Bahraich, form the Bahraich Lok Sabha constituency; Payagpur and Kaiserganj vote in Kaiserganj. A political survey company in Bahraich plans for both contests, and an election survey agency in Bahraich reports them separately.
The district has 6 tehsils, including Motipur (Mihinpurwa) in the north, 14 blocks and 1,392 revenue villages. A door to door survey agency in Bahraich allows extra travel time for the northern blocks. Health and nutrition studies are common briefs for a data collection agency in Bahraich, while a market research company in Bahraich more often looks at Nanpara and Bahraich town markets; either way, a survey agency in Bahraich should note that the tehsil names Payagpur and Kaisarganj match the two segments that vote in Kaiserganj. Booth management app Bahraich teams can file reports without network.

Balrampur's four seats point in two directions. Tulsipur, Gainsari and Balrampur vote in the Shravasti Lok Sabha constituency, while Utraula votes in Gonda. An election survey agency in Balrampur therefore works with two different neighbours, and a political survey company in Balrampur should not pool Utraula with the northern seats.
The district has 3 tehsils (Balrampur, Tulsipur, Utraula), 9 blocks including Pachperwa, Harriya Satgharwa and Gaindas Bujurg, and 5 nagar palika or nagar panchayat towns. Its northern blocks lie along the Nepal border. A door to door survey agency in Balrampur plans those routes with extra days. Tulsipur tehsil has the most villages on the district list (387), so a survey agency in Balrampur, a data collection agency in Balrampur or a market research company in Balrampur sampling by tehsil should weight it accordingly. The booth management app Balrampur campaigns use keeps booth reports by part number.

Shravasti is the smallest district in the division: 2 assembly seats, 3 tehsils, 5 blocks and 536 villages. Bhinga and Shravasti are only two of the five segments in the Shravasti Lok Sabha constituency; the other three are in Balrampur. An election survey agency in Shravasti covering the MP seat does most of its fieldwork outside the district, and a political survey company in Shravasti should say so in the sample plan.
A small frame makes a full census possible. A door to door survey agency in Shravasti can list every household in a block, which suits a data collection agency in Shravasti on a beneficiary check. Bhinga is the district headquarters, and a survey agency in Shravasti or a market research company in Shravasti studying town demand will find it far smaller than Bahraich or Gonda. The booth management app Shravasti teams use needs no network in the field.
