SUARA is a mobile-based e-democracy platform designed to connect citizens with public policy processes through real-time voting and digital aspiration submission in a more accessible, transparent, and structured way.
Problem to Solve
Build a minimum viable product that enables citizens to participate in public decision-making by accessing policy information, submitting aspirations, and casting verified votes through a secure and user-friendly Android application.
Solution Approach
The native Android MVP uses Kotlin and Jetpack Compose for the mobile interface, with a planned full-stack ecosystem using Ktor and Exposed with PostgreSQL or MySQL.
Core participation flows include:
- User registration and login with JWT-based authentication
- Policy listing and detail pages
- Single-vote approval or rejection
- Text-based aspiration submission
Impact
Produced a practical civic-tech prototype that translates e-government ideas into a usable mobile application, demonstrating how digital platforms can improve accessibility, transparency, and structured public participation in policy-related processes.
