Our Ongoing Work in Poland
Poland faces growing challenges in electoral integrity amidst increasing political polarization and media independence. Despite high voter turnout and a generally efficient electoral process, Poland’s 2023 parliamentary elections highlighted several challenges concerning transparency and accountability. The ruling party benefited from biased media coverage, lack of accountability in campaign finance reporting and blurred boundaries between state resources and campaign activities. The integrity of the electoral process was further undermined by a highly polarized and confrontational campaign atmosphere, concerns regarding judicial independence, media control and compromised voting secrecy. Commit Global is addressing these challenges by promoting transparency, accountability and informed participation through digital tools and platforms. By supporting initiatives that harness civic engagement and enhance access to unbiased information, Commit Global empowers citizens, encourages greater political awareness and ensures free, fair and inclusive electoral processes.

Election Support
Commit Global is a partner of the Political Accountability Foundation (Fundacja Odpowiedzialna Polityka), whose aim is to promote domestic observation across Polish society. This collaboration is dedicated to promoting civic engagement and transparency in the Polish electoral process.
The Vote Monitor platform was first deployed during the Local Elections (2018) and later in Parliamentary Elections (2023) and EU Elections (2024), empowering independent observers and NGOs to monitor elections and report violations in real-time. This initiative played a crucial role in promoting a transparent and fair political system, encouraging citizens to actively participate in safeguarding the integrity of the democratic process.

Empowering EU Democracy
Imagine a single, vibrant election event that unites over 400 million citizens across the European Union. EU elections are not just a series of national votes but a collective celebration of our shared identity and democratic values. As EU citizens, we come together to shape our common future, transcending borders and embracing the strength of our diversity. This project is a testament to our unity, making it easier for every citizen in the EU, no matter where they are, to participate in this powerful democratic process.
To support this vision of a unified election process, Commit Global has created a platform, We Vote for EU, which embodies the idea of unity and collaboration. WeVote4.EU is a comprehensive digital hub that centralizes crucial election information and real-time updates, making it easier for citizens to participate in the democratic process.
SOLUTION
We Vote for EU
WeVote4.EU offers several innovative and important features designed to enhance the voting experience for EU citizens:
The Voter Guidance provided voters with essential information on how to cast their votes and find polling stations quickly, regardless of their location.
The Voter Turnout section displayed a comprehensive statistics on voter participation throughout the EU in live format.
The Live Feed section delivered real-time insights into the progress of elections in each country, highlighting election day trends, significant occurrences, and expert commentary from our civil society partners and election experts across Europe.
The Election Monitoring section presents aggregated data to ensure transparency and reliability. European Parliamentary (EP) Elections in 2024 was the first time when multiple European organizations monitored EP elections simultaneously using the same digital solution—Vote Monitor. This historical event allowed us to view for the first time pan-European aggregated data related to election monitoring at the polling stations.
