ZONE - AREA - LOCATION

The swing assessment is basic elector response on macro level of district.

From every district, swing areas have to be taken,
based on at least three previous elections.

From these micro swing areas,
random swing locations [ polling booths] have to be taken.

These micro geographic - demographic firming up is
a must for accuracy to begin with.

Then, the age group, gender, social
and earning / occupational factors have to be taken.

General formula of age, social and earning / occupational factors
will serve the purpose.
