A volunteer home for open-source civic-tech tools that have been used in production across dozens of countries — by election monitors, civil society groups, and organizations working in difficult environments.
We didn't build these tools. We maintain them, improve their deployability, and keep them accessible to the organizations that need them.

Who we are
We're a small group of experienced civic technologists — practitioners who've worked alongside civil society and democracy organizations for years. We've deployed both of these tools in production: in elections, in training programs, in organizations working under real operational pressure.
CoCitizen isn't a company or a nonprofit. It's a volunteer home — a GitHub organization and a website that give these tools a public address and make it easier for others to find, assess, and use them.
How we work
Both tools are open source under the GNU General Public License v3. Fork them, deploy them, adapt them for your context. Keep the attribution and license intact.
We welcome contributions — code, documentation, deployment notes, issue reports. We respond as time allows. This is volunteer work; there is no support SLA.
Contact
Reach us at contact@cocitizen.com or through our GitHub organization. We're volunteers, so replies may not be immediate.
If you need reliable, hands-on support — deployment, customization, training — individual contributors may be available for paid engagements.
