Certainly something that should be followed up. Found the following which seems ‘almost’ there. http://epvote.eu/

Thanks for the links. Sounds very interesting. Actually I am not sure whether a project like that needs EU funding as it is a classic civil society project (also national sites rarely get governmental funding).

However, the problem of the data format is of course an annoying thing and should be changed by the EP. Has there been any statement from the EP IT team on the issue?

There is also many European foundations that might be interested in a project like that. Did Adrian Moraru mention the votewatch.eu project at all? As far as I understood it from the Euractiv letter the IPPR is working together with the EPC in Brussels on it?

I just organised a workshop (http://www.epractice.eu/publicservices) where Adrian Moraru came to present the website for monitoring the EP. You can watch his intervention here http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/1259150 .
Highly interesting that they didn’t manage to get EU money for the project, which was instead funded by an American grant.
