Vote Smart
Vote Smart is a digital platform developed by the Ciudadano Inteligente (lit. Smart Citizen) Foundation and currently in operation that allows citizens in general to submit proposals for their municipality. At the same time, it enables the rest of the people to support these proposals. In addition, the platform allows citizens to interact with candidates and their teams, through the raising of doubts, the comparison of proposals and the search for those candidates most related to the personal interests of the subject. Finally, this platform allows the candidates with political power in the different municipalities, to commit to complying with the proposals made by the citizens. All this information is publicly accessible.
