Description:
Communities flourish when their citizens are consistently engaged in their governments. In particular, local governments can have an even bigger on the daytoday lives of the citizens they represent than larger scale ones. However, local governments are notorious for having a dearth of community involvement. Citizens can be apathetic, uninformed, or misinformed leading to a government that is not representative of its citizens. VoterCloud is a mobile application that focuses on bridging this gap between citizens and their governments. It intends to address the issue of apathy by connecting its users and politicians in a social environment as well as the issues of being uninformed by providing election and politician information.
