Innovation Description

To develop and to measure the effectiveness of a cellular SMS election monitoring platform in reducing election fraud.
How does your innovation work?
The proposed research design involves a Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT), the 'gold standard' method for measuring the impact of innovative projects. Additionally, we hope that byfocusing on "quick count" monitoring-whereby Afghans at the polling stations send an SMS picture of the polling center tally which, by law, will be posted in the center after counting is completed-we can maximize the effectiveness of cellular monitoring.
