PollVault Social Voting
PollVault removes barriers to voting, empowering an engaged electorate to participate in government.
PollVault is a free, non-partisan democracy platform designed to remove barriers to people participating in their governance. PollVault presents voters with an accurate representation of their ballot in which candidates and initiatives are presented next to the recommendations of the advisors the voter has chosen from friends, media and political and social organizations. Voters are able to evaluate, comment, share their voting choices, and refer to them when at the polls on election day, encouraging people to vote their entire ballot. To help ensure voting, PollVault provides accurate information on polling location, directions, hours and any special requirements for voting,
Funded by subscriptions from campaigns and advocacy groups, PollVault provides access to reach voters at the point when they are deciding, and provides real-time polling data in aggregate of PollVault voters. The PollVault engine is extensible to any governing or consensus-based decision-making process.
