Incorrect border between Sangrur and Patiala constituency

[edit]

@Furfur: Hi there, the border between the Sangrur (12) and Patiala (13) is incorrect. Please refer to this map which I obtained from eci website. Also, File:Lok Sabha Constituencies.svg in this maps borders need to be updated too.SangrurUser (talk) 08:22, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello SangrurUser, I can't access these websites. I always get an access denied message.
The Indian election commission and all kind of different government institutions in India apparently do not allow people from outside India to access their websites. This is also the reason why I am unable to create Indian election maps any longer. It is a pity. Furfur Diskussion 08:32, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Furfur, Oh, that's unfortunate. Is there a tutorial or guide available for editing the maps? I would like to contribute.SangrurUser (talk) 10:54, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
SangrurUser you could try to use Inkscape. That's a potent freeware program. It is all a matter of practise and experience. --Furfur Diskussion 21:33, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
... regarding the map you mentioned: is this a map showing the constituencies after delimitation 2024? --Furfur Diskussion 22:05, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Furfur No, the last delimitation happened in 2008, next delimitation will start in 2026. It was just missing Sangrur Assembly constituency (108) which is in Sangrur, was placed in this map in Patiala, I have noticed the same thing in map other open-source maps too. I tried creating one File:Map of Punjab Lok Sabha constituencies.svg yesterday on Illustrator.SangrurUser (talk) 01:55, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
SangrurUser I have seen all kinds of newly delimited constituencies already announced on the Internet (without having seen any maps), so I was not sure. Your map looks very nice. I had a look at an old map of the Deliitation Commission (Changing Face of Electoral India: Delimitation 2008, Volume - II, p. 1233), and indeed you seem to be right. I don't understand, how this error has happened. I will correct the map using this template. --Furfur Diskussion 07:11, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I corrected the map. --Furfur Diskussion 08:07, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
