The Game of Votes: Visual Media Politics and Elections in the Digital Era [1] is a 2019 non-fiction book[2] by Farhat Basir Khan,[3] an Indian photographer and a faculty member at the AJK Mass Communication and Research Centre, Jamia Millia Islamia.

The book has a foreword by former President of India Pranab Mukherjee,[1][4] which The Times of India called "incisive".[4]

The Game of Votes is centred on the changing trends in elections[1] and examines what Khan sees as the paradigm shift in political campaigning most evident in the campaigns of Barack Obama, Donald Trump[5] and Narendra Modi.[2]

The book was published by SAGE in August 2019.[6]
