CivicChat

CivicChat helps citizens learn about local to national government and make more informed civic decisions, in their native language, simply by talking to their phone. We want to expand this project’s vision, to help incentivize and engage voters in local Boston elections. Along with an accessible chatbot, we want this platform to utilize public data to help tailor information to the user, and guide them through the voting process. Another older Spark! Initiative aimed to do this very same thing, https://bostonvoter.com/, and we want to pull features from here to this new civic chat platform. This will include the feature under the “your voter info” tab, drop box locations, and possibly the ballot form.
