Ojo Guate
"Ojo Guate" is an app for Android phones that allows citizens to contribute to strengthening the electoral process by reporting photos and texts, as well as the anticipated electoral campaigns that violate the Electoral Law and Political Parties in the country. These reports were then used by the Supreme Electoral Tribunal, which sanctioned 11 political parties. Citizens who wanted to be part of the project, but did not have an Android smartphone, could send the photos and the complaint to Guatemala Visible?s e-mail.

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?
Decisiveness: does the innovation takes binding, non-binding or no decision at all?
