The performance scorecard system.
Politicians and Candidates in the Political Score Card system are evaluated using four primary data sources:
1: Joining and pledging to safeguard our rights and freedoms.
2: Historical voting records. (Previously held elected positions) and Current voting records. (Current elected position)
3: Publicly stated positions. (Positions taken; social media, emails, news, press releases)
4: Questionnaire Responses (Positions taken on issues as presented in periodic questionnaires that clarify current stands on critical issues)
Each item in a data source is weighted according to its impact in protecting and upholding our rights and freedoms, with a focus on commitment, critical legislation and verifiable public positions. This system aggregates the weighted data to generate a percentage of pass or fail expressed in individual performance report/scorecards and the Rights and Freedom Index.
