Your Count
Your Count is a mobile app that aims to make the electoral process transparent through citizen participation. The app allows citizens to take photographs of the results of each box at the close of the election day. Based on this collaborative process, a public database is created that hosts approximate electoral results that can be contrasted with the official results. The app was used for the first time in the elections of Tabasco and was also used during the election of the Constituent Assembly of Mexico City on June 5th, 2016.
Institutional design
Formalization: is the innovation embedded in the constitution or legislation, in an administrative act, or not formalized at all?
Frequency: how often does the innovation take place: only once, sporadically, or is it permanent or regular?
Mode of Selection of Participants: is the innovation open to all participants, access is restricted to some kind of condition, or both methods apply?
Type of participants: those who participate are individual citizens, civil society organizations, private stakeholders or a combination of those?
Decisiveness: does the innovation takes binding, non-binding or no decision at all?
Co-governance: is there involvement of the government in the process or not?
