The collaboration aims at helping MyVoice cope with challenges preventing it from providing legal authorisation to those having no access to iBank accounts and the official eSignature.
Kaunas, Lithuania (November 24, 2020) – Formed by two social activists Kristofs Blaus and Janis Erts in early 2011, MyVoice/ManaBalss.lv is a popular Latvia-based civic organisation working in digital democracy and public engagement.
MyVoice is a platform for Latvian citizens to promote their initiatives for further submission to Saeima, the Republic of Latvia’s parliament. The organization makes and promotes digital tools that help in the general public’s participation in legislative decision-making processes.
MyVoice mission is to help Latvian residents support their proposals in the Latvian parliament via a digital medium. The organization enables interested Latvian citizens to file petitions and perform lobbying activities to assist in Latvia’s democratization.
Every day thousands of unique Latvians access the MyVoice platform for online petitioning and lobbying activities. Therefore, they need a powerful and legally valid authorisation system. iDenfy will offer them a reliable identity authentication system that will ensure that only legit people are using MyVoice. Besides this, MyVoice engages with Latvian citizens who want to make meaningful participation in policy-making also at the municipal level.
Imants Breidaks, the CEO of MyVoice/ManaBalss, says, “The partnership with iDenfy enhances the effectiveness of citizens’ digital participation provided by MyVoice, which already is globally unique, and scales it cross-borders. We hope that this precedent will also encourage the development of digital participation in policy-making processes internationally making them truly inclusive and democratic.”
Domantas Ciulde, the CEO of iDenfy, says, “We feel privileged to have partnered with MyVoice. The initiative they have taken to strengthen democracy via a digital medium is appreciable. We’re pretty confident that our identity verification solution will make their way easier to persuade the general public to promote their initiatives in the national parliament of Latvia“. He further says, “Our powerful remote identity verification solution will enable this non-profit public NGO to verify and authorise legitimate Latvians scattered across the globe who want to be part of this noble initiative“.
iDenfy is a Lithuania based identity verification provider that helps businesses improve their security by providing them with advanced AI-enabled identity verification technology. Companies from different industries leverage their solutions.
MyVoice says, “We are looking forward to partnering with iDenfy, and we believe it will enable them to scale national solutions worldwide“.
