I’ll be giving a talk on Vote Report India at NetSquared DC on Tuesday, May 19th.
Vote Report India is a collaborative citizen-driven election monitoring platform for the 2009 Indian Lok Sabha elections, built on the Ushahidi platform. I’ll talk about the story behind the project, reflect on how well the project has worked, and share some thoughts on the future of the project.
I’ll also talk about how political parties, civil society organizations and corporates are using digital media in the 2009 Indian Lok Sabha elections.
When: Tuesday, May 19, 2009 7:00 PM
Where: Affinity Lab, 2451 18th St, NW 2nd Floor, Washington DC 20009

great one stop place to get an overview of ongoings in Indian Elections. elections in India have largely been an exercise enticing with small favors & forcing illiterate masses. with tools such as vote report card, gradually voters, will get trickle down benefits of making an informed choice. regional & rural outreached media will be assisted with updated information.
all now realize that updated information is power & this is a great enabler which bridges existing gaps.
