ELMO in Action: Carter Center Leads in Election Technology

ELMO, the Carter Center’s open source ELection MOnitoring software system, is transforming election observation processes around the world. Embedded in a simple e-device, ELMO allows observation teams to more quickly and efficiently gather, submit, and analyze procedures — for example, polling station openings, voting operations, counting, and tabulation — to determine whether an election is calm, credible, and transparent.

Watch this video to see how The Carter Center used ELMO technology in Tunisia's recent presidential elections.
