Ramon Perez, Executive Director of the Digital Democracy Project, describes the use of a secure mobile voting app that enables verified voters to provide real-time feedback to legislators, showing constituent preferences on bills. This platform leverages AI to summarize complex legislation into accessible language and provides updates on voting records, creating accountability and transparency. This mobile voting technology was originally designed for military use and has been adapted for digital civic engagement.

We talk about

  • Value of providing citizens continuous opportunities to influence government policy decisions
  • Harvesting real-time polling data from verified constituents about pending legislation
  • How technology is bridging the gap between constituents and elected officials
  • Need to identify voter preferences that transcend two-party divisions
