About NepalElection.chat
An AI-powered platform built to make Nepal's 2082 election information accessible, accurate, and instant for every citizen.
About the Website
The Nepali Election Chatbot is a platform designed to make election-related information in Nepal easier to access and understand. The website uses conversational AI to help users quickly find reliable information about elections, candidates, voting procedures, and important updates.
Instead of searching through multiple sources, users can simply ask questions and receive clear, instant responses. Our goal is to simplify access to public information, reduce misinformation, and encourage more informed civic participation through technology.
This project was created to demonstrate how AI and web technologies can be used to support transparency and improve access to important democratic information. It covers 165 FPTP constituencies across 7 provinces, 3,406 candidates, and 67 parties — with answers in both English and Nepali.

Project Manager & AI Developer
Hi, I'm Gaurav Chaulagain, a Project Manager and AI Developer passionate about building intelligent systems that solve real-world problems. I enjoy turning complex ideas into practical technology solutions that can create meaningful impact. My work focuses on combining artificial intelligence, strategic thinking, and innovation to develop tools that improve how people access information and interact with technology. I believe technology should not only be powerful but also purposeful — helping solve challenges that matter in the real world.
Software Developer
Hi, I'm Medhavee Upadhyaya, a software developer passionate about building technology that solves real-world problems. I enjoy working on projects that combine web development, artificial intelligence, and social impact. I worked on developing the Nepali Election Chatbot in collaboration with a partner to help make election information more accessible for citizens. Through projects like this, I aim to use technology to create practical tools that make information easier to access and understand.
How we keep data fresh
Not all election data moves at the same speed. We use a tiered refresh strategy that prioritises volatility over uniformity.
Tier A — Ultra-live (every 2–5 minutes)
National seat totals, constituencies actively changing, and the top 20 most-searched constituencies during peak counting hours.
Tier B — Live (every 10 minutes)
Province and district totals, party standings, major constituency candidate pages.
Tier C — Stable (every 30–60 minutes)
Election explainers, candidate biographies, party profiles — unless a change is detected.
Data sources
- Tier 1 — Official: Election Commission of Nepal results when available.
- Tier 2 — Primary portals: Ekantipur Election Portal and OnlineKhabar Election Portal.
- Tier 3 — Context only: Reputable news explainers used solely for definitions and background, never for vote counts or seat numbers.
Trust and editorial policy
We do not endorse any candidate, party, or electoral outcome.
Every election number is cited with a source link and a timestamp. We never invent or interpolate data.
If a constituency has not yet started counting, the AI says so clearly rather than guessing.
Answers carry a "Confirmed" or "Reported" status label depending on how many sources have verified the number.
Technology
NepalElection.chat is built on Next.js and powered by Claude AI by Anthropic for natural-language understanding and answer generation. The scraping pipeline continuously ingests election data from Tier 1 and Tier 2 sources, stores timestamped snapshots, and feeds them to the AI as grounding context — ensuring the model never relies on its training data for live vote counts.
