ElecciónMP (Election Attorney General)
ElecciónMP is a project implemented by different civil society organizations in Guatemala with the aim of increasing accountability by creating an offline and online platform where citizens can share and have access to the profiles of the candidates running for attorney general and the members of the election commission. Moreover, these mechanisms of e-participation share infographics regarding the election process and the procedure that needs to be followed to denounce a candidate's reasons for possible disqualification. While providing this information in an online platform and a mobile app, this innovation also puts in place different dialogue tables, thematic forums, and conferences.
