Booths, volunteers, surveys and polling day on one board

Bharat Survey is election management software for India built for candidates, campaign managers and political consultants who need to know what is really happening in each booth. Volunteers get an offline Android app with assigned areas and survey forms. The campaign office gets a live map during shifts, booth committees and ratings, daily booth reports and a war room board that shows which booths went quiet today.

  • Lok Sabha, Vidhan Sabha, Nagar Nikay and Panchayat
  • PC → AC → booth structure loaded for the account
  • Every survey checked against the assigned area
  • Seat-based licence: pay for the people who survey

What the software covers

Most campaign tools stop at a contact list. Elections are won or lost in booths, so the software is organised around them.

Booth master and committees

Each assembly constituency gets a booth master: part number, booth name, building, area and voter counts by gender that you enter or upload. Around each booth you record the committee: booth pramukh, booth level agent and members, plus panna pramukh roles with the page range they look after.

Booths can be grouped into mandal or shakti kendra clusters of five to seven, if your organisation works that way.

  • Manual pin or CSV upload for booth locations
  • Committee roles without paying for a seat
  • Grouping layer is optional

Surveys that prove the visit happened

Volunteers start a shift, check arrival, record consent and fill the form section by section, even without network. When the record syncs, its location is compared with the assigned village or ward and labelled in area, near boundary, outside, poor signal or mock GPS. Anything doubtful goes to review and is never counted as approved.

  • Skip logic and validation in the form
  • Duration and timestamps on each record
  • Supervisor back-checks

War room board

The board combines booth coverage and rating on the constituency map, report compliance (which booths sent no report today), open issues, volunteer activity and a sentiment summary from surveys. It answers the morning question every campaign manager asks: where do we need people today?

Our view

Who uses it

The same account structure serves a single candidate and a state unit. What changes is how many constituencies you load and who can see what.

Political party management software for district and state teams

State or district office holders see every assembly constituency they are responsible for, compare booth ratings and report compliance across them, and drill into one AC when numbers slip.
  • Client owner, admin and read-only viewer roles
  • Supervisors see only their own team
  • Tenant data kept separate from every other account

A campaign day

The workflow is the same whether the seat is a parliamentary constituency or a single ward.

  1. 01

    Work downloads before the volunteer leaves home

    Assigned area, survey form and consent text download to the phone as a work permit, so the day starts even where signal is weak.

    Surveys and booth reports come in

    Each survey carries its location state and duration. Booth pramukhs file the daily booth report: activities, houses contacted, issues and a photo.

    The war room decides tomorrow

    The board shows booths with no report, open issues and rating changes, so the office can move people before the gap becomes a habit.

Local body elections

Local elections are small in area and tight in margin. The geography has to go down to the village and the ward.

01Panchayat election management systemRural

Panchayat election management system

Areas are organised by district, block, gram panchayat and village using LGD codes, so a zila or kshetra panchayat campaign can assign volunteers village by village and see coverage for each gram panchayat.

  • Village centroid and radius for location checks
  • Hindi village names alongside English
02Sarpanch election campaign software for a single gram panchayatPradhan and sarpanch

Sarpanch election campaign software for a single gram panchayat

A sarpanch or pradhan campaign often has fewer than ten active workers. Two or three seats for surveyors, free committee roles and the daily report are usually enough to see which hamlets have not been visited.

  • Small seat counts are fine
  • Same verification as a large campaign
03Panchayat election app for volunteers with basic phonesOn the phone

Panchayat election app for volunteers with basic phones

The app is built for low-cost Android handsets, large touch targets and Hindi labels. Surveys save on the phone and the sync count is always visible, so a volunteer knows what has reached the office.

Mobile

Offline by default

Forms, areas and consent text live on the phone. Records save locally and sync when signal returns.

Honest status

Saved on phone and reached the server are shown separately, so no one assumes a survey arrived when it did not.

Hindi first

Labels and terms volunteers already use: सर्वे, शिफ्ट, बूथ, पन्ना प्रमुख, with an English toggle.

Consent on record

Each interview starts with consent text you approve. A refusal is recorded as an outcome, not skipped.

Not the right fit if

  • You want to download or search voter rolls inside the app
  • You need robocalls, IVR or a calling centre product
  • Your volunteers only use iPhones
  • You want a tool that promises a seat count or an election result

A good fit if

  • You need to know which booths are active and which are silent
  • Your surveys must stand up to internal scrutiny
  • You run Panchayat, Nagar Nikay, Vidhan Sabha or Lok Sabha campaigns
  • You want survey teams as well as software
FAQ

Straight answers to the questions people ask most about this topic.

Traditional vs digital election management?

Traditional management runs on registers, phone calls and meetings, so the office learns about a silent booth days later. Digital management puts booth reports, surveys and volunteer activity on one board the same day, with location and time on each record. It does not replace workers; it shows where they are needed.

Can the software import the voter list?

No. Version 1 does not import voter rolls or store voter-level personal data. You can load booth details such as part number, building and voter counts, and assign panna pramukh roles by page range, but the voter list itself stays outside the app.

Does it work for Panchayat and municipal elections?

Yes. Rural geography runs from district and block to gram panchayat and village, and urban geography from urban local body to ward. Assignments, location checks and dashboards use the same codes, so a ward or a gram panchayat campaign works the same way as an assembly seat.

Is the software linked to any political party?

No. Bharat Survey is a neutral provider. Each client's data sits in its own tenant, separated from every other account, and our staff access to sensitive data needs a recorded reason. We do not name clients or share one campaign's data with another.

How is it priced?

Pricing is seat-based and quoted per campaign. You pay for the people who fill surveys; booth committee members and panna pramukhs who only file reports do not need a seat. Tell us the constituencies, team size and dates for a quotation.
