How Political Parties Could Use State Data Hubs To Sway Voters
Data about beneficiaries of welfare schemes lets the BJP know where Central schemes have worked well and where they haven't. This lets them decide how they want to campaign in specific regions.
In January 2015, the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) made a seemingly innocuous suggestion to the Election Commission (EC).
The recommendation: give state governments across the country unfettered access to India’s centralised voter database.
Specifically, the Aadhaar agency wanted each ‘state resident data hub’ (SRDH) – a repository of personal data that gives state governments a 360-degree view of each local resident – to be given access to the Electoral Photo ID Card (EPIC) database.
