The Homeland card (Spanish: Carnet de la patria) is a Venezuelan identity document that includes a unique personalized QR code. It was created in 2016 by the Venezuelan government with the objective of knowing the socioeconomic status of the population and streamlining the system of the Bolivarian missions and that of the local committees of supply and production (CLAP).[1]
The document has a digital wallet that is articulated within a state electronic payment system[2] and in which carriers can also receive different monetary bonds from the Venezuelan State.[3][1]
The use of the card has been reported as a possible method of social control, a policy of social exclusion as well as coercion and vote buying during the 2017 Venezuelan regional elections, the 2017 Venezuelan municipal elections, the 2018 Venezuelan presidential election and the 2020 parliamentary election.[4][5][6][7]
