There is a bunch of voter-related data (I'm mostly thinking electoral rolls, but maybe other stuff too) which is really hard to search through and requires a lot of patience. The idea here is to collate/scrape that data and put it up in more easily accessible and searchable form.
Other related ideas welcome.

Has anyone tried getting this in digital format from SEC using RTI?
Yes. After this event's report was published, we were contacted by someone who has been fighting the EC in court demanding access to the data. Arun has been in touch.
Arun, have there been any developments since?
We scraped the BBMP elections website couple of months ago - https://github.com/klpdotorg/bbmp-elections
