EVOTING CLOSED A SUCCESSFUL SEASON OF SHAREHOLDER MEETINGS
EVoting had a busy closing season of Ordinary Shareholders’ Meetings. During April alone, 27 of these processes were carried out with the EHolders platform, reaching a total of 29 in the year, in 3 countries of the region.

“IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO IMPLEMENT TECHNOLOGY IN ALL PHASES OF THE ELECTORAL SYSTEM”.
Transparencia Electoral is an organization that seeks to promote democratic values, mostly in Latin America, and is dedicated to the analysis of electoral issues. Its Director of Institutional Development, Jesús Delgado, talked to EVoting, analyzing the current situation of democracy in the region and how technology can contribute to its development.
“I believe that technology has a lot to contribute to the electoral issue, it has improved it a lot, but it is also true that there are still some countries that have resisted a little to technological advances and I think the world is going in that direction”, said Delgado.
“EVOTING ALLOWS FOR GREATER EASE OF PARTICIPATION FOR ALL PARTNERS.”
