My Ballot Journey (Prototype)
Where did my Senate ballot go?
Make up a Senate vote and see how it would have travelled through the counting algorithm. You can see which elected Senators would have benefited from your vote, and by how much. My Ballot Journey.
Democracy is best served by transparent processes. Building something useful and meaningful can take a lot of time and effort. Importantly, it is also iterative. We build and update versions continually while considering all the different kinds of feedback we can collect.
This is still a prototype. Sharing it now serves a couple of purposes:
- We want you to check it out. Play with it. Interact with it. Go through it to see if it makes sense to you or you find it useful. Then, if you want, you can let us know what you thought was good/bad/confusing.
- It helps dispel the myth that perfect products just appear, fully formed and true to the original idea. If you go through Our Projects, you’ll see earlier variations of the ideas linked shared on this page. This is important to remember when working with democracy: it’s all a continuum, changing and rebuilding as new information makes its way to those responsible.
