Contra o Caixa 2
The "Against the Slush Fund" App (port. Contra o Caixa 2) was developed by the Brazilian Bar Association (OAB), the professional college at the national level, as part of a campaign to control and effectively implement electoral reform that prohibits private donations by legal entities and businesses to electoral campaigns. Through the app, citizens can make reports of cases on suspicion of the practice of "caixa dois"; that is, of illegitimate money financing election campaigns. In addition, the OAB will have local and regional committees examine the received complaints and corroborate and evaluate them to see if they contain enough material support to constitute a legal complaint. If this is the case, these committees can initiate the corresponding process before the electoral courts.
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?
