Field operations, canvassing and research for candidates who want to see what is really happening
Bharat Survey is an election campaign management company in India for candidates, campaign managers and party units that want the ground game measured, not guessed. We run door-to-door canvassing and voter surveys with trained field teams, give every volunteer an offline Android app, and show the campaign office which wards were visited, what people said and where the gaps are.
Most campaigns know how many pamphlets were printed. Few know how many homes were actually visited, in which lanes, and what those households raised. That second number is where we work.
Our part of a campaign is the field layer: planning which areas get covered, sending canvassers and surveyors out with a clear assignment, and bringing back evidence of every visit. Each record carries a time, a GPS point and a short structured note, so a campaign manager can open a map at 9 pm and see which parts of the constituency went untouched that day.
Between canvassing rounds we run short, properly sampled voter surveys. Canvassing tells you what your own supporters hear; a sampled survey tells you what the whole seat thinks. Keeping the two separate stops a campaign from mistaking an enthusiastic street for a winning ward.
We call ourselves an election management company only in this narrow sense: we manage field operations and the data they produce. Strategy, speeches and alliances stay with the candidate and the party. Our job is to make sure the decisions those people take are based on visits that happened and opinions that were really recorded.
Each programme below uses the same app and dashboard, so the campaign office sees one picture instead of five spreadsheets.
Canvassers get a daily lane or polling-area assignment. The app records the visit, the household's main concern in a few taps and any request for follow-up. Supervisors see who covered what, and visits logged far from the assigned area are flagged instead of counted.
A canvasser is not a neutral interviewer, so we keep persuasion and measurement apart. Our surveyors, not party volunteers, run a short sampled questionnaire on issues, awareness of the candidate and satisfaction with local services, and the results come back weighted by area.
Repeated rounds three or four weeks apart show whether the campaign is moving opinion where it is spending effort. We report changes with the sample size next to them, so a two-point shift in a small sample is not read as a trend.
For a party unit running a membership drive, the app logs each enrolment form a worker completes, with consent, and the dashboard shows progress by mandal or ward. Membership data stays in the party's own workspace; we do not reuse it for any other client.
Hello, I am Ram Kumar. This survey is run by Sample Organisation. Purpose: to learn about amenities in your area. It is voluntary, and you can say no at any time.
Volunteers help eligible citizens, especially first-time voters, find the Election Commission's own channels: Form 6 on the Voters' Service Portal or the Voter Helpline app. We record that help was offered and whether the person said they would apply. We do not collect EPIC numbers or upload electoral rolls.
On polling day, booth volunteers post simple hourly reports: queue length, any disruption, and whether the party's booth agents are in place. A GOTV campaign in our system is about logistics and reminders to the public at large, never about monitoring how named individuals voted.
Urban local body contests are decided in small wards with very local issues. The field model shrinks to fit.
Search results mix field services with media buying and event work. Here is where we stand, so you can plan the rest of your vendor list.

No agency can promise that, and you should be wary of any that does. What field work can do is show where the campaign is not reaching voters, which local issues matter in each area, and whether opinion is shifting between rounds. Candidates then decide where to spend time and volunteers based on evidence rather than impressions.
No. Rally and yatra logistics, advertising purchases and social media handling are outside our scope. We focus on door-to-door field operations, sampled voter surveys, volunteer reporting and the dashboards that tie them together, and we are happy to share data exports with whichever agencies handle the rest.
We do not upload electoral rolls or store personal voter data, and the app is not built to track individual voters. Canvassing is planned by area, lane and polling-station cluster, which gives coverage evidence without profiling named people.
Yes. Volunteers log in on Android phones, receive area assignments and record visits offline. Our supervisors or your coordinators review coverage, and visits logged outside the assigned area are flagged for review.
We work for candidates and units across the political spectrum on a project basis, keep each client's data in a separate workspace, and do not publish or share one client's findings with another.
Send the constituency or wards, the contest date and what your volunteers already do. We will reply with a coverage plan and survey design.
