Meanwhile in Indonesia, the non-governmental organizations Perludem and the Asia Foundation use the election map facility in the Goggle Map to create information about candidates per region and the data will be updated when voters have cast their votes on the day. Google also holds workshops for candidates to learn how to reach and communicate. with voters on online platforms like YouTube and Google+
Elections in India will be held in 9 stages from April 7 to May 12, while Indonesia will hold legislative elections on April 9.
