Marble - Elections Made Easy
At Assutech, we embarked on a transformative project called Marble in collaboration with our esteemed client, Gambia Participates. Marble aims to revolutionize access to credible election information, empowering citizens with comprehensive, up-to-date data. Through this innovative cross-platform app for Android and iOS coupled with a Web App for app content management, users can easily access information on past certified presidential, parliamentary, and local government elections, including candidate participation, total votes cast, constituency-wise voting, regional voting trends, and general details about registered political parties in The Gambia. On election day, users can stay informed with live-certified election results. Marble also provides election guides, FAQs, and essential information on voting, ensuring users have the knowledge they need. To enhance the excitement of election day, users can share the "I Vote Sticker" on social media, spreading their enthusiasm with friends and family. Marble is revolutionizing the electoral landscape, empowering citizens to engage actively and make informed choices during elections.
