New 'Yo Cuido Mi Voto' App to Boost Electoral Transparency in Bolivia
La Paz, Bolivia – In a significant move towards enhancing electoral transparency, Guillermo Capobianco, President of the National Electoral Control, announced details regarding the 'Yo cuido mi voto' (I protect my vote) application. This innovative digital tool is set to play a crucial role in upcoming elections, allowing volunteers to directly contribute to the integrity of the voting process.During an interview, Capobianco explained that the application will enable registered volunteers to photograph official voting records, or 'actas de votación', directly from polling stations. These photographic submissions will serve as a vital digital backup, providing an immediate and verifiable record of the results. 'Our goal is to ensure that every vote is accounted for and that the public has full confidence in the electoral outcome,' Capobianco stated. 'The photographic records will provide an undeniable guarantee of the results, reinforcing transparency.'The initiative aims to complement traditional vote-counting methods by offering an additional layer of oversight. Volunteers will be trained to accurately capture and upload the images, ensuring the data is reliable. This measure is expected to significantly reduce discrepancies and enhance the overall credibility of election results, fostering a more robust democratic environment.
