The event link and registration
Bringing together all the latest technology from around the world supporting free and fair elections... and making it better.
The event has 3 main strands:
- Improvements and upgrades to OneWorld's amazing real-time election monitoring system, which they ran successfully in the recent Senegal Presidential elections. If you've not seen this system before, you should definitely check out the website here and watch this video
- A number of projects based on the Ushahidi crowdsourced mapping tools (see below for more details)
- Investigating how technologies such as mobile & cellular communication, crowd-sourced mapping, remote data plotting and covert data transfer can contribute to monitoring of the electoral process in countries where domestic and international observation is restricted. We'll be looking particularly at how to address the key issue of corroboration/verification, and running at least a couple of country specific workshops looking at practicalities - Zimbabwe and Iran look likely topics for those at present.We're also currently in discussions with several other interested organisations about running other projects on the day. More details to follow soon.
