Maps of election violence and malpractices – Eastern Province Elections, Sri Lanka, 10th May 2008

Complementing the micro-blogging initiative set up to generate reports from citizen on election violence and malpractices, set up a Google Maps based solution for the Centre for Monitoring Election Violence (CMEV) to put election related incidents on a map.

There are currently two maps. See here for details.

Visit CMEV’s blog for more updates.

We are getting most of our updates from mobile phone, which is going to create some problems if the government decides to block mobile phone communications (again) today.
