Example of How Badly We Need The Informational Sites:

Why Do We Need This?

  • In recent studies, around 20% of adults, ages 18-24, voted in the last election
  • This percent is the product of a rapid decline of young aged adults voting
  • This decreases the amount of opinions and ideas supported
  • Meaning, the people voted into offices today do not necessarily coincide with the general population's beliefs

Political advisory app & Website

So How Does It Work?

  • Bus comes to college campuses, with city staff and information
  • Students can go to rooms (like Sabbatini) and watch videos and learn information before they vote
  • Vote on the bus
  • Announced way ahead of time
  • Download app beforehand to educate yourself, so you can skip informational room and go straight to voting

What Would This Look Like?

  • App:

Main idea

Memphis Area Specifically

  • Create a system and accompanying website to bring the voting booths to college campuses
  • Ipads (with accompanying apps) will be available to help with the voting and also have unbiased information (such as BrainPop) about each candidate
  • Students can go through and learn which candidate they should vote for
  • App on the phone would enable students to vote, have a separate line to scan and show registration for quick voting lines
  • 4 or 5 undergraduate colleges
  • Would be available for early voting
  • Presidential election (for right now)
  • If this works, it would be good for local elections
