Every September 15 the world recognizes the significance of democratic freedoms by observing UN International Day of Democracy. It is a day to acknowledge the value and benefits of democracy, as well as the endless struggle to preserve, nurture and grow democratic principles in countries around the world.
In observance of this day, we look back to the election projects in the last 18 months of which we’ve been lucky enough to have been part. We look at the positive impact our technologies, services and people have had in helping election officials modernize their elections. We celebrate the work of those officials in making their elections more secure and transparent, and the effort to ensure that citizens’ voices are heard.
Albania
Albania’s Central Election Commission (CEC) modernized its elections with 5,538 Smartmatic biometric voter authentication kits that were deployed nationwide to 3,500 polling places.
