Digital Democracy in 24 Hours
When COVID shut down Parliament, a 24-hour sprint kept democracy running.
When COVID-19 forced Finland's Parliament to close, there was no system for remote democratic processes. Legislation couldn't stop. The institution needed a digital solution for remote voting and participation, and they needed it immediately. Standard procurement timelines were out of the question.
Compressed a typical design sprint into a 24-hour intensive session
Worked directly with parliamentary officials to understand procedural requirements
Designed and prototyped a remote participation system under extreme time pressure
Prioritized trust, accessibility, and procedural correctness over feature completeness
A working digital democracy solution was delivered within 24 hours, enabling 200 Members of Parliament to continue legislative work remotely during the COVID-19 crisis. The sprint demonstrated that mission-critical systems can be designed and prototyped at speed when the right team is in the room. This was design in service of democracy, under real pressure.
