Voliprav.si / Vote Correctly - A one-stop for Parliament elections in Slovenia

Citizens have the right to non-biased information to cast an informed vote. We, the people of Slovenia, inspired by the people of Iceland, built this project to solve this problem for local elections.

The process

Each party is given the same list of questions where they can fill out as pleased within a word count limit. This ensures that all parties are represented equally. Responses are then compiled and listed on our platform. Voliprav builds upon the legacy of a similar site in Iceland (Kjosturett) and holds integrity and transparency above all.

Technical information

The master branch is currently being worked on in time for the 2022 parliamentary elections.

manual build

Information on our Datasets

We have some relations in the dataset that have to be linked together. These relations complicate the project a bit but give us the benefit of having all the repo data in an easily readable and flat format. All data lives in the data folder. To build the dataset run ./build.sh inside the /data folder. All the output goes to /data/build folder. Some data needs to be built separately. We state this where needed.

Are you having trouble building the data? Please open a GitHub issue.

Data sources

We have various data sources. Described below are data sources that are available after the build step, but the raw data is also available in /build
