One World has conducted election monitoring projects with local organisations in 5 countries in West Africa since 2012. In each coutnry, hundreds -- and sometimes thousands -- of trained election monitors have sent reports throughout Election Day about the details of election administration procedures. Each monitor observes about 20-30 aspects of the election and texts reports to a central server using standard reporting codes. Over the years, this has generated a significant amount of data about the administration of elections as well as some data on the atmosphere around polling stations (occasional incidents of violence, vote buying, etc).
One World is an international NGO, founded in 1995, with a mission to innovate internet and mobile phone applications that the world's poorest people can use to improve their life chances and that help people everywhere understand and act on global problems.
A process mining technique using ProM open source framework (Java) to identify how the election process is evolving in different epochs has been employed.
The different traces across different stations and elections have been quantified using a sunburst diagram. This diagram can be used to produce an online performance and conformance checking mechanism by identifying dominant, subdominant and marginal patterns in the log data.
More information about the project can be found on our hackapad. Marathon hosted by DataKindUK.
