Candidates & Parties
14Does BallotView support any political party or candidate?+
No. BallotView is a neutral platform and does not support, promote, or endorse any political party or candidate.
15Is BallotView biased toward any political party?+
No. BallotView is strictly non-partisan. We present factual, publicly available information about all candidates equally — regardless of their party, ideology, or affiliation. We do not endorse any candidate or party.
16Can candidates update their own profile on BallotView?+
Candidate profiles are created using publicly available information. In the future, candidates may be able to verify or update certain details through authorized access.
Information displayed is sourced from public records. Candidates may contact us to flag factual errors or provide additional verified public information. We do not remove profiles for candidates who have contested in public elections, as this information is of public interest.
17A candidate's information appears incorrect. What should I do?+
Please use the Report an Error link available on candidate profile pages, or write to us directly. We take accuracy seriously and will verify and correct any errors as quickly as possible.
18Why does a candidate's criminal record appear on their profile?+
Candidates are required to disclose criminal cases (charges pending, convictions, etc.) in their affidavits filed with the Election Commission of India. This is public information mandated by law, and BallotView displays it to help voters make informed decisions — consistent with the Supreme Court's directions on electoral transparency.
19Why are some candidate profiles incomplete?+
Some candidate profiles may have limited information if detailed public data is not available at the time of publishing. The platform continuously updates profiles when new information becomes available.
