Slide16Needs
To be an informed voter
To learn about issues quickly
To hear about issues that matter to them
Insights
Everyone wants to be an informed voter, but few have the time/energy/inspiration to learn
Voters are very particular about which issues they want to hear about
QuestionsHow can we balance high information with minimal to low user effort?
Slide17Summary
Most people know
nothing
about their local government, but are curious about the issues that matter to them
A large
hindrance
in being informed about local issues is the lack of a centralized resource, aside from the actual ballot
Information on the ballot may not be factually accurate - need a way to present info concisely and factuallySUMMARY
