Meeting the Challenge: Sacramento County’s SacVote Mobile Application
Sacramento County Registrar of Voters Jill LaVine challenged her staff to develop a mobile app for voters. But her I-T staff had never developed an app before. They took some classes on their own time, learned some new skills and began putting them to use. The result is the SacVote App for IPhones and Androids. It can deliver a whole host of information to the voter who may not know where his polling place is, or who left her sample ballot at home. Eventually, the app could provide all the same information as the hardcopy voter information guides and sample ballots.
