The Indian Lok Sabha Elections 2014 is started yesterday. The elction will be conducted in many phases from 7 April to 12 May 2014. and the results will be declared on 16th May 2014. On this occasion Google have launched a new online tool named “‘Know Your Candidates”.
The application will help you to search your candidates using your Pin code.
While clicking on a candidate it will show some basic information like Party, Age, Severe Criminal cases, assets, and education. it will also have link which can give more details. I also wanted to say this is not complete, as I could not find all the candidates on my constituency.
