Karnataka electoral roll scraper
----
This script is intended to scrape the electoral roll from
http://ceokarnataka.kar.nic.in and generate a text electoral roll.
This is in a very early draft stage right now. It has some skeleton code to
pick up each entry from the roll of a single polling station, and parse out a
bunch of fields. This works fine for most cases.
Todo
----
Lots! :)
* Deal with names that span multiple lines
* Actually dump output in a meaningful format (CSV? JSON?)
* Scrape out polling station information
* Fix up to run over a dump of the PDFs for all polling stations and build up
the electoral roll for Karnataka as a whole
Dependencies
----
* Python
* pdfminer
