Through this app, any citizen can prevent the political parties or candidates from distributing money, material, clothes, jewellery, etc. in any way to woo the voters, threatening the voters to vote in their favor, sending voters in their own vehicle. Can complain about other types of complaints including transportation, putting promotional material on the building or walls of a building owner without his permission or writing advertisements on the wall.
