Monitorizare Vot is a mobile app for monitoring elections by authorized observers. They can use the app in order to offer a real-time snapshot on what is going on at polling stations and they can report on any noticeable irregularities.
The NGO-s with authorized observers for monitoring elections have real time access to the data the observers are transmitting therefore they can report on how voting is evolving and they can quickly signal to the authorities where issues need to be solved.
Moreover, where it is allowed, observers can also photograph and film specific situations and send the images to the NGO they belong to.
The app also has a web version, available for every citizen who wants to report on election irregularities. Monitorizare Vot was launched in 2016 and it has been used for the Romanian parliamentary elections so far, but it is available for further use, regardless of the type of elections or voting process.

The Assembly VotingIrregularities.Domain has EF Migrations configured and can generate a database complete with test data.
To do this, follow the steps bellow:
Fill-in appsetings.json OR add in a new appsettings.target.json file the connectionstring to the SQL instance where the DB should be created.
Run the following console command from the VotingIrregularities.Domain.Seed folder:
src\api\VotingIrregularities.Domain.Seed> dotnet runImportant: the migrate action with delete the data from the following tables: Answers, Questions, FormSections, Options.
- to test admin features, you will need to add a test NGO and a test NGO admin linked to that NGO
- to test observer features, you will need to add observer accounts
-
install .NetCore (refer to the Built With section for the proper version) (Open Source/Free/Multiplatform) from here
-
run the following console command from the
srcfolder:src> dotnet restore -
run the following console command from the
VoteMonitor.Apifolder:src\api\VoteMonitor.Api> dotnet run
-
browse to indicated address: http://localhost:5000/swagger
Use the swagger UI to understand the endpoints and routes; you can also use the UI for token generation (testing out the POST /api/v1/access/token route)
For the rest of the endpoints you will need to use this token and inject a header (this is not currently possible using the swagger UI - it is probably a configuration effort - any hints are welcome)
The auth header is
Authorization: Bearer {token}
and it needs to be injected into each request.
