Who Finances You
Who Finances You is a digital platform developed by the Ciudadano Inteligente (lit. Smart Citizen) Foundation within the timeframe of the presidential campaign of 2014. This tool made available to the public the sources of funding of the political campaigns of the various candidates who made this information available. Of all the candidates consulted, only three socialized their sources of financing. The platform also enabled the possibility for people to demand information from the candidates. After the electoral campaign, Who Finances You focused on a new law on financing Chilean politics, making available to the public, information on the progress achieved through the new regulation. In the framework of this project, the civil organization in charge carried out a campaign so that the citizens could ask the candidates to make their financing funds transparent. The petition was supported by more than 6000 people. By 2016 Chile had a new law for election financing at all levels.

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?
