The Cod Qaran Story
Vision & Planning
Ismail Farah Abdullahi begins conceptualizing and planning Cod Qaran, envisioning a secure voting platform that would revolutionize democratic processes.
Development Begins
Official development of the Cod Qaran platform starts, bringing together a team of engineers, security experts, and democratic process specialists.

Global Expansion

Cod Qaran began as an idea in the mind of visionary entrepreneur Ismail Farah Abdullahi during 2022-2023, when he started planning for a secure, transparent electoral system that could withstand modern challenges. With a background in both technology and governance, Ismail spent this time researching and refining his vision before officially beginning development in 2024.
Our name, "Cod Qaran," represents a cornerstone of Somali cultural heritage and traditional governance, embodying the communal decision-making process where elders and community representatives gather to resolve important matters. This deeply rooted cultural practice has guided Ismail's vision from the beginning and continues to drive everything we do—from software design to implementation and support, ensuring our digital platform authentically preserves this vital aspect of Somali identity.
"Technology should strengthen traditional Somali governance, not dilute it. Our mission is to create a Cod Qaran election system that is as secure as it is accessible, ensuring that geographical distance never prevents our community members from participating in our cultural decision-making processes."
Under Ismail's leadership, Cod Qaran has grown from a visionary concept to a trusted platform for Somali community governance. We've pioneered innovations in biometric verification, secure vote recording, and accessibility features that make authentic participation possible for Somali communities worldwide, preserving our traditional governance systems in the digital age.
Today, our platform continues to evolve with cutting-edge security protocols, enhanced user experiences, and culturally sensitive implementations that honor Somali traditions while maintaining the highest standards of electoral integrity for Cod Qaran elections.
