Promesómetro
"Promesómetro" was a virtual platform, devised by a group of citizens who are part of the "Visible Guatemala" movement. This platform was intended to monitor the promises of the candidates in the 2015 Elections. On their website, citizens could enter promises made by candidates during their election campaigns. Later, the project was divided into two phases: the first consisted of a group of lawyers and political scientists who, after receiving the promises, assessed their viability. The second phase consisted in evaluating the fulfillment of these promises in the next 4 years of government. Due to the change of circumstances in the country (because of #15A and the resignation of the president), this group of citizens decided to entertain the possibility of electoral fraud or fraud of the Electoral Law or Political Parties, and it no longer followed "Promesómetro". After the implementation of the "Ojo Guate" app, this group of citizens implemented "Visible Elections".

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?
