Frequently asked questions

DemocracyIndia is a civic platform that connects citizens with their elected representatives. You can find your MP and MLA by constituency, read the Constitution in English and Hindi, browse government schemes, follow civic news and take part in the citizens' forum.

Yes. Everything for citizens is free. Leaders, parties and campaign teams can subscribe to workspace plans for tools such as contact management, broadcasts and election war rooms.

Not to read. Representatives, constituencies, the Constitution, schemes and news are all public. A free account lets you post in the forum, ask your representative a question, message other members and connect with leaders and organisations.

Open Find Your Constituency and use your location, or choose your state and Lok Sabha seat. Every Lok Sabha and assembly constituency has its own page with the sitting member, past election results and the number of polling stations.

From official sources: the Lok Sabha Secretariat's member directory and state assembly directories for names and contact details, and Election Commission of India results for election history. Each profile links to its source and shows when its contact details were last checked.

A sitting MP or MLA signs in with a leader account and claims their profile. Our team checks the claim against the official contact details on record before the profile is marked "Verified on DemocracyIndia" and the representative can publish updates and answer questions.

Every profile shows the official email, phone number and office address we have on record. Representatives who have verified their profile can also receive your questions and connection requests on DemocracyIndia.

Yes. The full Constitution of India is available in English and Hindi: the Preamble, all 25 Parts with 498 Articles, and the 12 Schedules, from the Government of India's bilingual edition. You can also read it article by article in 22 Indian languages.

A book by Dr Satinder Singh Malik (Sabre & Quill Publishers, New Delhi, May 2025) that examines the present Constitution and its European roots and sets out a constitutional framework for Bharat grounded in Indian civilisation. All 34 chapters are available here in English and Hindi.

The text comes from the Government of India's official bilingual edition. For legal purposes, the official text published at legislative.gov.in remains the authoritative source.

20 central government schemes across 12 categories, including entrepreneurship, agriculture, finance & savings, housing. Each scheme page covers who is eligible, the benefits and how to apply, with a link to the official portal.

Each scheme page lists its eligibility criteria. To check your eligibility across all government schemes at once, use the Government of India's myScheme portal, linked from our Schemes page.

Choose Leader when you create your account (or switch an existing account to a leader account). A sitting MP or MLA then claims their profile, which our team verifies; a candidate or aspirant declares the constituency they are contesting instead.
