Election Observation Platform
This is the working platform of ADAFP's Election Monitoring and Observation Department. It records who observed, where, what they found, and — where a mission conducts a parallel tabulation — what result was posted at each polling station in a sample drawn at random before the poll.
It exists so that EMOD's findings rest on a documented method rather than on assertion. Anyone reading an EMOD report should be able to see how many accredited observers covered how many stations, what they were asked, and how the sample was chosen.
Accredit observers, load a station register, draw the observation sample, deploy, and read the findings.

ADAFP is an alliance of political parties. An observation body inside such an alliance must be visibly separate from the parties it observes, or its findings can be dismissed as interested testimony.
So the separation is built in rather than asserted. This platform runs on its own domain with no party branding. It shares no data with any party tool. And every observer records a declaration of non-partisanship before the system will accept a single report from them.
ADAFP separately provides its member parties with software to protect their own votes on election day. That is a different system for a different purpose, and the two are deliberately kept apart.
Reports from members of the public are a third category again. They are moderated before publication, described as accounts rather than findings, and never combined with what accredited observers recorded.
