Data from the 15'th term of the Lok Sabha

General elections for a new term of the Lok Sabha were held last month, and the new term of the Lok Sabha started on 1'st June, 2009. The list of the MP's for this new term have now been pulled into GovCheck and are available for your viewing pleasure :).

However, as you may notice quiet some data is missing. There are multiple reasons for this. For one thing, the data on the Lok Sabha site is not complete yet (see http://164.100.47.134/newls/Biography.aspx?mpsno=4569 for example) which means that a lot of data on GovCheck will be missing (see http://govcheck.net/mp/tharoordr-shashi/). The Lok Sabha site is being polled everyday though, so as soon as that data is available on their site, it will show up on GovCheck. Data for previous elections is also missing as of now (see http://govcheck.net/constituency/srinagar-jammu-and-kashmir/ for example) - again because statistics for the latest elections haven't been made available by the Election Commission. I will keep an eye out for said data and will have it uploaded as soon as it becomes available.

In the mean time, enjoy your new list of MP's and do let me know if there are any issues of bugs you find.
