Accelerate field actions during electoral processes is the main objective of the project denominated DMIE-VotoX (Dispositivo Móvil Integral para Elecciones, Integral Mobile Device for Elections), which currently develops EVOTUM enterprise in the facilities of the Technological Innovation Park (PIT, Parque de Innovación Tecnológica) of the Autonomous University of Sinaloa (UAS, Universidad Autónoma de Sinaloa).

“There would be a significant reduction on the flux of information, from the moment electoral data is generated to the moment the concerned parts receive the information; as well as the creation of conditions for an agile interaction between actors of an electoral process (electoral committee, electoral councils, voting booths, political parties and citizens)”, added.

He recalled the resource was obtained by means of the call of the Innovation Incentives Program 2014, launched by the National Council of Science and Technology, through linkage with academic organisms, as it is the case of the PIT-UAS.

“Thanks to the project we made the most of Technological Innovation Park’s facilities, their academic experience. As to technological transfer, they provide the technical experience of their researchers; us, the experience in electoral processes”, expressed.

For this, the linkage with the University, besides the above, counts with the participation of six undergrads of Informatics of the Faculty of Informatics (Culiacán Campus).

Jesús Óscar Crespo Palazuelos thanked on behalf of EVOTUM enterprise the attentions, the professionalism and dedication given to this project by the personnel of the PIT-UAS, leaded by the researcher José Ramón López Arellano.
