A higher voter turnout in the Indian Assembly elections in recent years indicates greater participation as well as a growing interest in politics by the people. One of the most widely debated topics of interest in the Indian political space are the Gujarat Elections and BJP party’s consecutive wins since 1989 - it has dominated the last 7 Assembly elections.

Information graphics and interactive visualizations have become an integral part of modern journalism today. The nature of election reporting has increasingly become data centric, with a wide number of data parameters to draw upon.

While national news outlets and journalists have extensively covered Gujarat elections each year, there are not many examples of data-driven journalism which covers the past elections and the events leading up to them - in its entirety. This project aims to present rigorous analysis and insightful communication about the various parties and candidates involved in the elections, through a series of data visualizations.
