Ummidvaar Dastaavez — Candidate Dossiers

What This Is & Why It Matters

This tool transforms structured CSV data into professional PDF candidate dossiers with LaTeX-quality typography, using a professional blue and gold color palette optimized for government documentation. All phone numbers and emails are mandatorily masked for privacy protection.

Why this tool is necessary: Political organizations often rely on inconsistent Excel sheets, handwritten forms, or poorly formatted Word documents for candidate assessment. This leads to missing information, inconsistent evaluation criteria, and unprofessional documentation during critical selection processes.

Required CSV columns (18 fields):
preference, name, category, caste, age, gender, occupation, education, year_joined, phone, email, criminal_record, rationale, strengths, weaknesses, proposers, positions_held, elections_contested

Technical Features & PDF Output Quality

Generate Professional PDF

Why structured PDFs matter: Committee members need consistent formats to compare candidates fairly.

💡 Privacy by Design: Phone masking (shows only last 4 digits) and email obfuscation (r***@domain) are hardcoded and cannot be disabled, ensuring compliance with data protection guidelines. No server upload means your data never leaves your computer.
