Candidates are usually surrounded by people with an incentive to report good news. Formal opinion polling is expensive and rarely available at the level of a single assembly seat, so most campaigns run on anecdote. Decisions about which issues to lead on and which booths to prioritise then get made without any measurement at all.

One question, three keys, a booth-wise answer
The voter presses a key, which works on any handset. Responses aggregate by booth, so the result is a map rather than a single number. Figures are illustrative.
A constituency-wide answer says “water”. The booth-wise answer says water in Booth 12 and jobs in Booth 88, which is what changes where you campaign.
What’s included
Keypress surveys
Ask up to five questions and capture answers as keypresses, which works on any handset including basic feature phones.
Booth-wise results
Responses aggregate by booth, showing exactly where support is soft rather than a single constituency-wide number.
Issue testing
Find out which issue voters actually rank first, instead of assuming it is the one your team talks about most.
Regional language prompts
Questions asked in the language of the booth, which materially improves completion rates.
Missed-call enrolment
Voters give a missed call to register support, building a consented outreach list you own.
Repeat waves
Run the same survey monthly to see whether your campaign is actually shifting opinion or merely spending.
How it works

Design the questions
Three to five short questions, phrased neutrally so the answers are worth having.
-
Record the prompts
Voice prompts recorded per language, kept short to hold the listener.
-

Calls placed across a representative sample of booths over two or three evenings.
-
Read the breakdown
Booth-wise results showing strength, softness and the issues that move each area.
Why IndiaVoteKar
We publish profiles of 786 sitting MLAs across four states and track every upcoming assembly election in India. Campaign work here is built on that election data, not on generic marketing tooling adapted after the fact.
Election data first
Constituency, party and incumbency data already in-house, so targeting starts from facts rather than guesswork.
Built for Indian seats
Booth and ward hierarchies, regional languages and Model Code timelines are the default here, not an afterthought.
Live in days
Campaign windows are short. Setup is measured in days, so you are reaching voters while it still changes the result.

Frequently asked questions
- How reliable is an IVR survey?
- It will not match a properly designed field poll, because people who answer automated calls are not a perfect sample. Its value is scale, speed and cost: you can survey every booth repeatedly and watch the direction of movement, which usually matters more than a single precise number.
- How many responses do I need?
- For booth-level reading, aim for a few hundred completed responses per booth cluster. Call volumes are set several times higher than the target, since completion rates on automated surveys typically run between five and fifteen per cent.
- Will voters find it intrusive?
- Keep it under sixty seconds and to five questions or fewer. Surveys that identify who is calling and explain why tend to be tolerated well; long or evasive ones generate complaints and poor data.
- Can I use it to build a contact list?
- Yes. Missed-call enrolment is the cleanest way to gather consented numbers, because the voter initiates contact. Those numbers then feed your WhatsApp and voice campaigns legitimately.
- When should the first wave run?
- As early as possible, well before nomination. An early baseline is what lets you tell later whether your campaign changed anything, and there is no way to reconstruct it after the fact.
हिंदी में जानकारी
अधिकतर अभियान इस अनुमान पर चलते हैं कि क्षेत्र क्या सोच रहा है, क्योंकि सीट स्तर पर पेशेवर सर्वे महँगा है। IVR सर्वे में एक स्वचालित कॉल सवाल पूछती है और मतदाता कीपैड पर बटन दबाकर जवाब देता है — यह किसी भी साधारण फ़ोन पर काम करता है।
जवाब बूथ-वार जुड़ते हैं, इसलिए नतीजा एक आँकड़ा नहीं बल्कि नक्शा होता है: कहाँ समर्थन मज़बूत है और कहाँ कमज़ोर। मिस्ड कॉल के ज़रिए सहमति से मोबाइल नंबरों की सूची भी बनती जाती है।
