Monitored Political Operation
Operação Política Supervisionada (lit. Monitored Political Operation) is a civil society initiative created in 2013, with more than 4000 collaborators across the country, aimed at overseeing expenditures by the Quota for the Exercise of Parliamentary Activity in the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate. The audit is performed with access to open data on public spending and the parliamentary agenda, as well as active surveillance by citizens of the published receipts of expenditures made by federal deputies that possess indemnifications. In addition to the website, from 2015 onwards the initiative also has a smartphone app. The service collects public information and facilitates its access by citizens, but does not implement machine learning analyses in the database intersection.

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?
