It’s an understatement to say it’s important for everyone to vote in this year’s presidential election. The good news is that there are hundreds of organizations working to promote the vote, applying lessons learned from past elections and past successes. Taking this voting imperative a step further, other organizations are centering the voter experience by giving practical and tailored information to empower voters to cast their vote with more assurance.
ActiVote is one such organization. The ActiVote app removes many of the obstacles that stop people from voting by using data to help people to vote in their local, state, and federal elections. ActiVote empowers voters by asking them about their stance on issues and then mapping their views in comparison to those of the candidates in each race. It also helps voters decipher ballot initiatives and referenda, which are often written in confusing terms (this is particularly helpful for new or infrequent voters).
