Elected Mayors and Their Promises
Elected Mayors and Their Promises is an online application that allows one to get acquainted with elected mayors and the main tasks which they undertake to develop in their canton during their first year of work. The application allows any citizen to find information on the mayors who have been elected in the canton of interest in order to monitor the effective fulfillment of their electoral promises, and thus nourish the public policy monitoring capabilities of general citizens. In turn, the application informs about those hierarchs who did not want to make known their commitments, the volume of votes with which the mayor of each municipality was elected and how many abstained.
