Development of a Digital Canvassing App for Electoral Campaigns

Traditional canvassing methods involve manual surveys and paper-based data collection, leading to time-consuming processes, data clutter, and high error rates. Campaign teams struggle to efficiently manage voter lists, conduct surveys, and track canvassing progress, especially in regions with unstable internet connectivity, resulting in delays and data inaccuracies.
