+# Data Driven Democracy
+Mapping India's 2024 Elections "Data-Driven Democracy" is a project designed to illuminate the complexities of India's electoral process through the lens of digital humanities, aligning closely with the DH goals of interdisciplinary research and innovative public scholarship. At the heart of this initiative is a collaboration between MIT's UROP students and Indian journalists, aimed at developing a dynamic website that presents real-time election data, opinion polls, and demographic analyses in an accessible, visual format.

+This project not only seeks to demystify the vast electoral landscape of the world's largest democracy but also to engage UROP students in the practical application of digital tools and methodologies in social sciences research. By integrating data visualization, statistical analysis, and digital mapping, students will gain hands-on experience in translating complex datasets into compelling, user-friendly narratives.
