Citizen Inspector App
The Fiscal Ciudadano (lit. Citizen Inspector) is an app for smartphones that allowed to follow up during the day of voting in the Province of Cordoba in 2015, based on information provided by citizens. In particular, this tool made it possible to send alerts about inconveniences with or during the opening of polling stations, problems encountered in the electoral roll, missing ballots and other difficulties that could alter the transparency of the election. It also provided an opportunity for citizens to discuss their experiences, motivations and expectations.
