Civic Innovation Works has gone ahead and launched an intelligent new smartphone voting app that is designed to make it easier for those people who are politically engaged to identify people in their social networks who are undecided, and helps get them to exercise their vote.
Available as a free download, the VoteWithMe app takes advantage of the fact that people are more likely to vote one way or the other if being told to do so by a friend, family member or somebody that they know in some capacity, rather than a volunteer who shows up at their doorstep.
The VoteWithMe app is a great tool to use and an important one given the importance of the American presidential election, as it helps people to contribute to a vibrant democracy by taking part in vote canvassing with personal networks.
