West Bengal

URL = http://wbceo.in/DistrictList.aspx

The python script west_bengal.py iterates over all the districts, all the Assembly Constituencies (ACs) within each district, and all the polling stations within each AC, and does two things:

  1. downloads all the pdfs in wb_pdfs/: the draft_rolls are saved to wb_pdfs/draft_rolls/ and the supplementary rolls are saved to wb_pdfs/supplements/. (We don't download the maps.)

  2. creates west_bengal.csv with the following fields district_name, ac_no, ac_name, part_no, polling_station_name, filename (each polling station has 2 rows: 1 for draft roll, 1 for supplementary roll)

Running the Script

pip install -r requirements.txt
python west_bengal.py

Data

There are a total of 154,694 rows (77,347 draft rolls and equal number of supplements) in the CSV. Of this list, we were able to 153,962 files. The files in invalid_pdfs.csv could not be fetched.
