Case
Local authorities’ elections in a union territory Jammu and Kashmir were held for the first time. If these elections will be successful, they will bring a beneficial impact on modernization and democratization of the state.
That is why it is necessary to convince people to vote for their future. It is also important to learn potential voters’ moods: what do they think about elections, will they vote, and for whom.
Our client decided to conduct a survey of adults living in the state of Jammu and Kashmir. If he will know who will participate in the elections, he can organize a decent electoral campaign. Although he does not have enough people to fulfill the task.
Outsourcing call centers were closed or worked away from their offices due to COVID-19 restrictions. One hour of such a call center's work costs 12$. An operator is able to call 15 contacts in one hour. So it would take 6-7 days to call all contacts from our client base. It is too long for our client task.

A full audio message should have been no longer than 1 minute to save respondents’ time.
Thanks to it, 70% of contacts took the survey.
All solutions
adopted helped to achieve the accurate outcome.
Real overall voter turnout was around 54% while the survey results predicted it will be around 51%.

Implementation
Then managers analyzed the case and decided that it will be better to use a robot voice. It will increase confidence and the number of answers – people will not be afraid to confirm their participation in the elections. According to this decision, all audio clips were generated from our client’s text.
“Will you participate in the vote?”
The respondent could answer positively (like “yes”, “I will”, “of course” and etc.)
The respondent could answer negatively (like “no”, “I won’t”, “do not want to” and etc.)
Smart IVR system recognized all the answers.
After that, the robot gave thanks to the respondent, said goodbye, and finished the call.
All answers were recorded and the client could check them in his personal account in real-time.
