As usual at DJND, we have once again produced a guide for people who, for various reasons, are unable to participate in European elections and referendums like others. It is aimed at people who live abroad, people with disabilities, those who will be elsewhere in Slovenia on election day, etc. – in short, for everyone who cannot vote in the usual way. We create these election guides because we believe in the importance of political participation and actively promote it.

OMNIA polling stations, which allow voters to participate in elections even if they are outside their home constituency on election day, are organised throughout the country. To encourage voter turnout and facilitate access to polling stations, we created a simple interactive guide to OMNIA polling stations for the 2024 European Parliament elections and the referendums taking place at the same time. As voters need to register their intention to vote at an OMNIA polling station in advance, we also added instructions on how to do this to the map.

The map of polling stations for early voting is one of the online tools we use to actively encourage voters to fulfil their civic duty. For the elections to the European Parliament and the referendums taking place at the same time in June 2024, we created, among other things, a simple interactive map of polling stations. The map shows all polling stations and users can click on the nearest polling station to find out more about it.

We have developed the online application izvoli.eu in cooperation with the international network VoteMatch Europe to make it easier to decide in the European Parliament elections. The application contains 30 statements that have been addressed by almost all lists running in the elections. Users can also take a stance on these statements and find out which political option they are closest to in terms of their level of agreement. Similar questionnaires were also answered by parties running on European lists in other Member States, so users can also use these statements to check where they stand in the broader European context.

Kvizle (Quizzle) is an interactive online quiz that in the weeks leading up to the November “referendum trio” confronted users with 5 new questions every day. With Quizzle, users were able to check their knowledge of the situation at the public Radiotelevizija Slovenija (RTV). The latter, which was already in poor condition, was completely demolished by intense politicization. Every day we witnessed popular shows being cancelled, journalists threatened, and unprofessional, yet politically “appropriate” personnel being hired by the just as “appropriate” management. That is why, with the help of our friends, we decided to remind the voters in a fun way about the bizarre incidents and absurd decisions that marked the year 2022 on RTV. Quizle was similar to the hit game Wordle as it encouraged players to play daily – because they were unable to immediately check whether they got their answer right and had to come back the next day in order to continue their streak and to be able to brag about it on social networks

As friends of the referendum campaign FOR a professional and independent public television we created a website where we gathered relevant information, answered frequently asked questions, and encouraged people to vote. The campaign, which was organized by the organizations Association of Journalists of Slovenia (DNS), Peace Institute (Mirovni inštitut), Legal Information Center for Human Rights and Environment (PIC), and Institute for Cultural Diversity Open, was successful – over 41% of eligible voters participated in the referendum, and more than 62% of them voted in favor the law amendment.

In the time leading up to parliamentary and presidential elections as well as before the “referendum trio” in 2022, we mostly focused on encouraging voter turnout and participation. Among other activities, we yet again took to adjusting the good old tool Cefizelj (named after a streetsmart albeit rather naughty literary character), an interactive guide for helping voters participate in elections. Those who are unable to vote on the announced date or cannot do so at their home polling station, still have the right to vote, and to be able to exercise it effectively, Cefizelj was there – and is always here – to help with all the answers to how, when and where.

OMNIA polling stations are organized across the country in order to enable voters to take part in elections even if they find themselves outside the district of their residence on election day. We prepared a simple interactive map of OMNIA polling stations for both 2022 parliamentary and presidential elections. As voters need to announce their intention to vote at an OMNIA polling station beforehand, we also included instructions to do so and a countdown timer until the announcement deadline.

We have always encouraged people to participate in elections by providing them with various digital tools that make it easier to take part and perform their civic duty. For the April 2022 parliamentary elections as well as for October and November 2022 presidential elections, we, among other things, prepared a simple interactive map that showed early polling stations. Every one of them can be found on the map and more information is revealed upon clicking on it. The map is simple to use as well as easy to share with others and it makes early voting – as well as informing others about it – a breeze.

Kvizle (Quizzle) is an interactive online quiz that in the weeks leading up to parliamentary elections of 2022 confronted users with 5 new questions every day. With Quizzle, users were able to check their knowledge of the previous mandate and thus get motivated to vote. The 2020–22 mandate was marked by so many scandals that the constant revelation of new ones sank them into oblivion before they had any kind of political consequences. That is why, with the help of our friends, we decided to remind the voters in a fun way about the many abuses and wrongdoings of the outgoing government and help them make a responsible electoral decision. Quizle was similar to the hit game Wordle as it encouraged players to play daily – because they were unable to immediately check whether they got their answer right and had to come back the next day in order to continue their streak and to be able to brag about it on social networks.
