Hello,
Is there anywhere I can get a database of the present candidates standing for elections? I tried the Election Commission website (http://eci.nic.in) but they do not have a download. All that exists there is a .net form with postbacks, and it looks like a pain to scrape. IBN does have some data, but it seems incomplete with a lot of parties and candidates missing.
Any help would be really useful.
Regards, Aniketh
