If you attended , you probably saw this face always asking the same question (in an Argentine accent): What about a public infrastructure for electoral processes? This is @pdelboca, Senior Developer at @okfn, finding allies for a project he's starting to develop 🧵

Implementing and caring for open standards is the core of our work at @okfn – e.g. , , etc. Now, in a key moment for democracies worldwide, we are turning our attention to electoral processes 🧵

okfn,
@okfn@fosstodon.org avatar

Our bold question: What is the open, consensual and shared universal public infrastructure to guarantee democratic elections? By infrastructure, we mean a package of standards, public software, protocols, open audit processes and other eventual tools for information integrity 🧵

As Sarah Lister from UNDP Governance said during her talk at , we need to strengthen the "capacity of electoral bodies". Did you know that in 2024 there will be elections in 65 countries?

okfn,
@okfn@fosstodon.org avatar

Building on that, we very much agree with the point made by Gloria Guerrero from ILDA, that there's a new world divide: countries with good or bad legislation for ensuring tech is used for the common good. With this work, @okfn wants to provide assets for such good policies 🧵

okfn,
@okfn@fosstodon.org avatar

The first step of this initiative is an open next October focused on recent or ongoing elections in Latin America – Guatemala🇬🇹 , Ecuador🇪🇨 , Argentina🇦🇷 , and Brazil🇧🇷 , to name just a few, are worth analyzing conjunctureally from the angle of open standards 🧵

okfn,
@okfn@fosstodon.org avatar

This idea was born last March in a team conversation (https://blog.okfn.org/2023/03/13/how-far-are-we-from-an-election-data-standard/) and grew until it became a project.

Stay tuned and get in touch via network(at)okfn.org if you are willing to join forces for this initiative!
