Turning Vision Into Scalable Action

In collaboration with leading technology partners, we pilot innovative tools that expand citizen participation and strengthen transparency. From Diputómetro, a platform for political data and news transparency, to Electa, a blockchain-based tool advancing voting transparency, these experiments help turn civic vision into practical, scalable solutions.

ELECTA

Developed by Stakework, the Electa platform enabled Bolivians to conduct a verifiable, citizen-led audit of the 2025 elections. In partnership with Cuidemos el Voto, a volunteer network of over 60,000 people, the platform supported a nationwide rapid count and escalated 148 verified incidents to official observers. The project demonstrated how civic technology can deliver transparency in moments when institutional trust is at risk.

Diputómetro

Diputómetro is one of Demo Lab’s Innovation Lab flagship projects, a civic-tech experiment that turned Costa Rica’s congressional data into something people could actually use. For two years of operation, backed by four years of updated legislative data, the platform made bills, votes, and deputy behavior visible and understandable to the public. It reached over a million visitors who explored how Congress worked, while more than ten media outlets amplified its findings. From this work emerged the Open State Civic Parliament, where civil society actors used Diputómetro’s insights to draft and push citizen-focused reforms, contributing to two approved bills and the development of a Citizen Participation Bill. As a whole, Diputómetro showed how the Innovation Lab can turn democratic ideals into working tools that shift power toward informed, engaged citizens.
