Political Atlas
The Political Atlas is an online platform for monitoring federal deputies and senators. The developers collect data from different sources to generate profiles of each deputy and senator, indicating personal data and political trajectory, visualizing their location on the ideological spectrum and alliances with social movements or lobby groups. It also indicates if they are involved in any judicial process currently open and the sources of funding for their campaign. Finally, they are assigned 5 indicators related to 5 dimensions of their mandate: representativeness, responsibility in the campaign, legislative activity, participation in parliamentary debates, and party loyalty. These indicators are measured according to the performance of each parliamentarian, and seek to facilitate citizen oversight of the representatives by gathering all the relevant information about them, showing both their campaign and their work once they have been elected.
