Koramangala SmartVotes is a campaign to elect a true citizen's representative in the upcoming BBMP elections

The Process

• The different RWAs and citizen leaders will help arrive at a ward manifesto for Koramangala
• Candidates who are in agreement with the manifesto will then campaign and stand for an internal election, where all the residents will vote, in a process that's not unlike a primary in the US election process. This voting process will also arrive at a ward council that will advise the representative. 
• The consensus candidate that bubbles up in the internal voting process will then contest the election as a consensus candidate. The residents are urged to cast their votes as a block to this consensus candidate, giving her/him a realistic chance to win over the political candidates.

This process requires a lot of hands because this involves reaching out to all the residents in the ward and sensitizing them about the process. If you would like to volunteer in the door-to-door campaigning or any other part of the process, please contact Amar Murthy 98441 01444 Prithvi 98450 39331
