BallotReady Hackathon

    Get involved with democracy! Use your laptop for good!

    The Chicago Innovation Exchange and BallotReady are hosting Civic Hackathon. BallotReady is a free mobile and online voter guide to local elections providing nonpartisan background information on all the candidates and referendums on a voter's ballot.

    What is a Civic Hackathon?
    BallotReady builds its voter guides through civic hackathons- day-long community events where students or civically-engaged citizens come together to research candidate backgrounds, issues, and endorsements down the ballot. It's a festive atmosphere filled with free donuts, coffee, pizza, and political chit-chat and a great chance to learn more about elected officials and local elections.

    No special coding or other experience necessary. Just bring yourself and a laptop!
