DrupalCon Latin America 2015: Drupal for Non-Profits: Case Study of Ojo al Voto in Costa Rica

In this talk, the speaker discusses Ojo al Voto, a citizens' initiative in Costa Rica designed to inform and monitor political and electoral processes. They explain how the project leveraged Drupal as its primary content management system, creating tools to engage young voters, especially those aged 18 to 28, during the 2014 presidential elections. Key features of the platform included opinion blogs, OAuth integration, user-generated content, and a political proposal comparison application, all built to facilitate transparency and citizen engagement. The session also outlines plans for the next iteration of the initiative, aimed at enhancing government transparency and providing citizens with greater political control, while sharing insights on utilizing Drupal effectively for similar projects.
