eParliament: developing an Android solution to manage a parliament session workflow

Abstract

[en] Scytl is an enterprise that has been implementing solutions to the online voting sector since 2001. Therefore, one of their multiple successful projects is SSM (Scytl System Management) which consists of a web application called eParliament. The National Council of Provinces of South Africa and the Metropolitan Government of Nashville & Davidson County are using the web application SSM on its sessions. eParliament is a solution for handling in-chamber functions for the parliament of Ghana, such as debate (i.e. microphone) management, voting and video display. This project consists of three parts: hardware/networking, legislation & agenda management and SSM. The hardware/networking part is managed by a local partner, called Josanti. The legislation & agenda management part is handled by another partner, called NextSense, and it is based on a pre-existing webapp software.
