As the Gujarat Election continues to capture the attention of the country, Twitter is the place to see what’s happening in the state election and engage in conversations about political progress among citizens.

Tweets related to the Gujarat Election increased 20% in the past month, indicating growing interest in state politics on the platform. As the nomination period ends and election campaigning kicks off, Twitter is launching several initiatives for Indians to have their voice heard during the #GujaratElection2017, provide real-time updates on the campaign trail, and to connect voters to politicians on the most important election issues.
