				TimbaObjects built an SMS based election monitoring system called Apollo. This tool enables observers send reports from the polling units during an election using text messages in a specific format. Messages sent are stored in a database, that is monitored on the Apollo web application platform. Analysis is performed on the received data for further use. Apollo has been used for election monitoring in countries like Nigeria, Zimbabwe, Tunisia, Zambia, Malawi and Azerbaijan.
			</p>
			<h5>How does it work?</h5>
			<p class="portdet-size">
				Observers are assigned to polling units and are given unique observer ID. These observers are trained to observe the elections, and are required to send in reports from the polling units via SMS to a short code in a specific format that the application has been designed to accept.
			</p>
			<h5>Features Includes:</h5>
			<p class="portdet-size">
				<ul class="portdet-size">
					<li>Dashboard to monitor SMS status.</li>
					<li>Checklist Form that enables data clerks edit data sent in from the polling units.</li>
					<li>Incidents Form to monitor and edit polling units incidents reports.</li>
					<li>Observer Performance Rating.</li>
					<li>Message Log to monitor Incoming and Outgoing SMS.</li>
					<li>Convergence Chart to analyze voting party results.</li>
					<li>Quality Assurance to compute and calculate the data quality.</li>
					<li>Analyses to compute and analyze date sent in.</li>
				</ul>
			</p>
			<p class="portdet-size">
				Apollo is a user centered application, the application has been built and designed in a way that makes it easy to learn and use. Hence, events are easy to deploy using the application. TimbaObjects also provides technical support anytime and anywhere there is a deployment.
