Data & Intelligence / Our platform

Our own data analysis platform.

STRATA is the platform we built in-house. It brings election results, constituency and polling-station records, geography and official statistics for India and Uganda into one place, so every piece of our analysis starts from the same consistent base.

STRATA is an internal research tool. The screens on this page are taken from it.

A short tour

Eight screens, two countries.

From the Lok Sabha as a whole down to every seat in a state, then Uganda's presidential results, its voter register and twenty-five years of elections. Use the buttons to pause or jump to any screen.

STRATA · Election Studio

STRATA Uganda trend view: the winner's and main challenger's share of the presidential vote at every election from 1996 to 2021, with registered voters and turnout.

Screens from STRATA, Polity Lab's in-house platform. Figures: Election Commission of India official results; state views from official Lok Sabha and Assembly results (district maps as drawn in STRATA); Uganda screens from the Electoral Commission of Uganda results (1996–2021) and voter registers (2007–2025).

What it brings together

One base for results, places and records.

The value is not in any single chart, but in the fact that every view draws on the same checked records.

Election results

Lok Sabha elections from 2009 to 2024, state assembly results, and Uganda's presidential elections from 1996 to 2021 with its Parliament.

Places

States, districts, constituencies and polling stations, including 7,89,904 polling stations geo-located in India and 23,132 in Uganda.

Official records

Electoral rolls and registers, census figures and public statistics, each kept with its source and date.

Checked totals

Totals are reconciled with the figures election commissions publish, and any differences are recorded rather than hidden.
