The document proposes a solution called Transparent Pakistan to address issues with lack of transparency in Pakistan's electoral process. It would be a crowd-sourced platform on web and mobile that contains information on constituencies, candidates, and issues. Users could report issues, view allegations against candidates, and participate in virtual polls. The platform would obtain data from various sources and allow citizen journalism. It outlines plans to make the platform, market it through various channels, and ensure sustainability through partnerships with international organizations and media institutions in Pakistan. Financial requirements and timelines are provided for the proposed phases.
