How do you think the lack of election polling plays a role in this? The absence of it, I think, makes it incredibly difficult to study peoples' voting behaviours AND makes it difficult for people to vote strategically.
Cherian actually cites this as a possible way to deal with this issue (in the article that I linked to above). The law against opinion polling during the election campaign period will have to be changed for this to happen though. Police have investigated even informal polls so this is enforced strictly.
