un articulo por Portal R3
As of June 11, the municipality of Ubatuba has completed the
stage of plenary deliberations for Participatory Budgeting in
the eight regions of the city. The plenary sessions were a
success and brought together hundreds of citizens to present
their demands and elect councilors from each region.

Emphasis is placed on a computerized voting system for the
management of the process of Participatory Budgeting,
designed by a team of the Municipal Secretariat of Information
Technology as a contribution to the technological
development of the municipality.
The functions of the system include accreditation of citizen,
recording of the proposals, candidates for councilor and
compilation and instantaneous dissemination of voting
results.
The system was fully developed by the secretariat staff using
freely available programming languages, without the use of
third parties and without cost to the municipality.
According to Thiago Lamosa, Technical Director of
Infrastructure and the secretariat responsible for the system,
the project was designed to increase security and, especially,
to make the plenary sessions more efficient and transparent.
"
"With the new system, we are able to give each of the project
proposals and the counselor candidates equal importance,
publicity and attention," says Lamosa.
According to Peter Seno, municipal secretary of Information
Technology, the next step will be to make the system available
for voting on the Internet.
"We will make the system available on the Web to enable all
citizens of Ubatuba to participate in the process from their
home, work or community. Thus, we extend the process of
democracy and participation to reach all corners of the city."
