La Constitución De Todos: how Morocco shared code with Chile, via Poplus

Congratulations to CEHUM in Chile, who have just announced the launch of La Constitución De Todos (Constitution For All).

La Constitución De Todos allows citizens to discuss, vote on and propose changes to each article of the constitution online, using code that originates from Morocco’s Legislation Lab from GovRight.

The launch comes in the context of the new Chilean president announcing  that there will be a widespread public consultation on a constitution for the nation.

The two organisations might never have met, if it hadn’t been for the Poplus kick-off conference back in 2014, where the idea was first mooted, and GovRight stepped in to offer help.

The Poplus federation was founded on the idea that sharing civic code and knowledge can benefit organisations worldwide: this project is another superb example of exactly that.
