Database Structure

• Electoral Rolls are computerized i.e. maintained in a

relational database organized into tables prescribed by ECI

• Database is stored in two set of tables:

1. Control Table (Master Tables) - Defines relationship

between Electoral units such as Parliamentary

constituencies, Assembly Constituencies, Parts,

Sections and administrative units

2. Elector Details Table – Provides details of the electors

• Database is updated during every revision process

Page 3: ERO 1 Day Trg Session 4 ERMS EPIC Statistical Analysis.pptx … · Title: Microsoft PowerPoint - ERO 1 Day Trg Session 4 ERMS EPIC Statistical Analysis.pptx [Read-Only] Author: HP

Control Tables

• Details in Control tables are required:

– For printing details on the Part header

– For data integration of database of all electors in the State

– Prepare the Draft Rolls in PDF format

• Accepted claims and objections are entered in the system and then Final Roll is prepared by incorporating all deletions and modifications

• It is very important to prepare control tables with extreme care and diligence so that the Electoral Rolls are properly generated

Page 4: ERO 1 Day Trg Session 4 ERMS EPIC Statistical Analysis.pptx … · Title: Microsoft PowerPoint - ERO 1 Day Trg Session 4 ERMS EPIC Statistical Analysis.pptx [Read-Only] Author: HP

• The Control tables are entered once and used multipletimes for roll preparation. An error in control table canmagnify multiple times, so utmost care has to be takenwhile preparing control tables.

• If the control tables are not filled timely andcorrectly then all the pains taken by EROs to ensurethe enrollment of eligible persons would be wasted

Control Tables

the enrollment of eligible persons would be wasted

• DEOs /EROs are responsible for collection of this datafrom the field.

• DEOs/ EROs supervise the data entry by data entryoperators

• State Level Agency (SLA) provides the technicalsupport

Page 5: ERO 1 Day Trg Session 4 ERMS EPIC Statistical Analysis.pptx … · Title: Microsoft PowerPoint - ERO 1 Day Trg Session 4 ERMS EPIC Statistical Analysis.pptx [Read-Only] Author: HP

• To ensure the correct updation of database it is vital tohave close coordination between SLAs (technicalguide), DEOs (collection of data) and the data entryoperators

Control Tables

• ECI identifies and lays down the structure of thecontrol tables.

• Timeliness of data entry is important

• Some major tables are shown in the next few slides

Page 6: ERO 1 Day Trg Session 4 ERMS EPIC Statistical Analysis.pptx … · Title: Microsoft PowerPoint - ERO 1 Day Trg Session 4 ERMS EPIC Statistical Analysis.pptx [Read-Only] Author: HP

What analysis is done• Elector Population ratio – The Ratio of electors to total

population should be equal to the ratio of 18+ population to total

population. For this purpose the population projected to the

current year needs to be calculated from published census

population and the multiplication factor based on decadal growth

raterate

• Sex Ratio – Sex ratio of electoral roll should be the same as sex

ratio of population as published in the census

• Age Cohorts – The number of persons in a particular age group

should match the umber of electors in that age group. For this

purpose the age group wise population is calculated on the basis

of census data

• EPIC and photo coverage – EPIC and photo coverage should be

for 100% electors in the electoral roll

• There can be many artifacts in the data e.g. there is • There can be many artifacts in the data e.g. there is heaping of numbers in ages with whole numbers. People tend to give their names as approximately 20 or 30 rather than 19 or 31

• Deviations from the expected in statistical analysis may be explainable by local factors e.g. in-migration or out-migration etc.

Statistical Analysis at Poling

Stations

• Population at polling station should be

taken from actual door to door survey at

least in the election year and should be kept least in the election year and should be kept

updated at all times by BLO

• BLO should maintain a register (BLO

register) and statistical analysis should be a

part of BLO register

When should statistical analysis be

done

• As pre-revision exercise to determine

categories of voters and areas for special

focusfocus

• Information in format 1 to 8 must be sent

along with justification for observed

deviations to ECI when seeking permission

for final publication of rolls

• For making the action plan for SVEEP
