Social Media &

Lok Sabha Elections

A study finds that Facebook users may be the new

revolution led by social media users. At a
very conservative estimate, the fortunes of

contestants seeking election to the next Lok

Sabha from not less than 150 constituencies will

be determined by Facebook users making them
the newest Vote Bank with the power to shape
Indian politics.
The inevitability of a three way split of the
popular vote between the ruling UPA, the
principal opposition NDA and the emerging third
front formations increases the relevance of social
media users as a community, rendering unto
them an opportunity like never before to register
their presence.
A study carried out by the independent IRIS
Knowledge Foundation suggests that social
media usage is now sufficiently widespread to
have the power to influence the outcome of the
next elections to the Lok Sabha and consequently
government formation. The research was
conducted with data available in March 2013.
With Facebook emerging as the gorilla in the
social media space, the clout that Facebook users
enjoy is immense. The study has serious
implications, all of it positive, for Indian
democracy, for the way it empowers the citizens.
The study underscores the need for candidates to
chalk out a well thought out social media strategy
for their campaigns to be effective.
The success of social media in general and Facebook in particular in catalysing change will be predicated
on marrying the community which social media is able to create with relevant content to enhance

accountability. The relevance of XBRL in achieving this end cannot be emphasised enough as it allows
things to be mixed and matched in a manner hitherto unexplored. This explains the excitement in the USA
about the DATA Act which seeks to mandate the use of data standards such as XBRL. This promises to
usher in what we call c-governance or citizen led governance, the next logical step in the e governance
roadmap of countries worldwide.

1. The Indian electorate has never been younger.

Between 2004 and 2009, the voting population
went up from 670 million to 720 million. The
number is expected to increase to 800 million by
the time the country goes to the polls, a greater
number of voters than ever before will be 25
years or younger.

their vote at the hustings. It is significant to note

that online media generally and social media in
general have played a huge role in mobilizing
people for protests. The highest tribute that could
have been paid by way of recognizing this is the
setting up of a social media lab by Mumbai police
to track social media activity to anticipate
possible trouble spots and identify those they see
as trouble makers.
3. India is also rapidly urbanizing which is seen as
a sign of upward mobility. This has serious
consequences for the aspirations of the residents
and the extent to which they would go to realize
their objectives. Anecdotal evidence suggests
that an urbanized population is also an assertive
population, and prepared to take an aggressive
posture, and easily swayed given their access to
not just state controlled media but also alternate
points of view not available to them until now.
Secondly, a report entitled Social Media in India

2. The last 5 years has also seen a greater

expression of disaffection in the government and
the political class by the citizenry who have taken
to the streets to protest. This was seen during the
fast by Anna Hazare, even if the protests did not
last for long. This happened during the infamous

3. A third factor of significant relevance from the

point of view of this study is the revelation in the
IAMAI report that social media usage is spreading
fast in areas other than the top eight Indian
metros. One third of the social media users, as the
study reveals, are residents of smaller towns with
population of under 500000. Even more
significant is the fact that a quarter of social
media users are residents of towns with a
population less than 200000.
The third factor which prompted the study was
the impact of social media on the US Presidential
elections. In a piece in the MIT Technology
Review5 entitled Facebook: The Real Presidential
swing State, writer David Talbot had predicted
that the outcome of the 2012 campaign could
have less to do with grand vision than online data
analytics and peer to peer voter targeting. As it
turned out, the Obama victory is credited to just
that. Obama's followers on Facebook and Twitter

Implications of the study for Contestants

1. No contestant can afford to ignore social media
in the next Lok Sabha election. Just as they have
budgets for traditional media spend and on the
ground activity, it is important that they have a
specific budget for social media activity.
2. When one sees the wins of the Congress and the
BJP in the last Lok Sabha elections, we find that 75
of the 206 seats won (36%) by the Congress and
43 of the 144 seats (30%) where they finished
second are counted among the High Impact
constituencies. In the case of the BJP, we find that
44 of the 116 seats (37%) they won and 50 of the
110 seats (46%) they lost fall in the high Impact
category. A well thought out social media
campaign will not only be about retaining
previously won seats but also about wresting
new seats. While there can be no two views on the
fact that social media usage is a largely urban
phenomenon, a rapidly urbanising India with
even small towns reporting a fairly active social
media usage offers pointers to how campaign
focus may need to be in order to gain new wins
while retaining the existing seats.

aggregate data about those that they seek to elect

but making such data available in a granular form
could well trigger a different response from the
voter than ever before. For instance, we wonder
how a voter would react when faced with the
choice of electing an MP whose attendance record
in parliament is dismal or whose election
affidavit shows that his personal fortune has
increased manifold over the last 5 years or whose
comments display a huge level of insensitivity
towards women.

3. Unlike traditional campaigning which is

mandatorily required to come to a close 48 hours
before the polls, it is unlikely that the Election
Commission will be able to legislate and enforce
silence on social media networks as it would be
tantamount to stifling the voice of the people.
Which means that any development even in the
hours of polling can potentially influence voter
behaviour as the information will spread like wild
fire. What this also means is that savvy candidates
can harness the power of social media to unleash
a guerilla campaign on their opponents without
giving them the time to respond. We may see
some candidates take a hit and run strategy.
4. We believe that by mashing up this data with
social indicators of a constituency and personal
attributes of contestants, democracy will win. It is
one thing to share with a voting population,
