Your Vote Counts
Your Vote Counts is a mobile application developed by a group of independent citizens with the aim of ensuring the transparency of the electoral results. Through the app, citizens can register and upload data and photos of the polling stations near them. The information must contain results by party and figures about the vote count. The data provided by the users is grouped and then stored in a secure database, for which Blockchain technology is used. In this way, citizens contribute to the creation of a database free of manipulation to be able to compare it with the final results of the election.
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?
