Getting a broader view

A new feature just added to GovCheck.net let's you get a broader view of the MP, State, Party or Constituency you are currently viewing. On supported MP's pages, you will now see a Google Map of said MP's constituency (see http://govcheck.net/mp/vajpayee-atal-bihari/ for example) . Similarly, on a given constituency page, you will now see said constituencies location (see http://govcheck.net/repregion/449/ for example). Additionally on all the MP, State, Party and Constituency pages, you will now see a box towards the bottom that displays search results (courtesy of Google) from news, web and video sources. We believe that these changes give users a much broader overview of what is happening with a given MP, State, Party of Constituency.

A couple other (not-so-visible) changes have also been rolled out, such as prettier url's for MP pages (see http://govcheck.net/mp/vajpayee-atal-bihari/ vs. http://govcheck.net/mp/417/). An error with the petition creation process has also been fixed.

As always, if you feel like providing any feedback regarding issues you would like fixed or just something you would like to see done differently, you can submit a report or send us an email.
