Thanks for the suggestion Sreeram. I have created a GitHub release with the Karnataka data in PMTiles and FlatGeobuf formats: https://github.com/Vonter/india-polling-stations/releases/tag/karnataka
I don't have much experience with GIS so apologies if these files don't work as expected, but I was able to load the FlatGeobuf file into QGIS successfully. Not too sure how to test if the PMTiles file is valid, but I think it should be correct too.
