election laws and equal representation in legislatures.

citizens’ assemblies, and referenda.

  • Tracking the status of a polling area (“of interest”, “canvassed”, “to canvass”)
  • Printing of polling area maps (or displaying on phones)
  • Publishing of canvassing events so supporters can join and work in groups / teams
  • Registering of volunteers for a canvassing event
