Voting Buddy is an online platform that provides politicians, governmental bodies, and voters with relevant decision-making data and increased interactive connectivity. At a glance, politicians and governmental bodies can gain insight into ideological sentiment trends amongst their constituents. In addition, features currently under development will give government leaders the ability to query their constituents through insta-polls and instant messaging, and even enable video messaging and virtual town hall meetings. Moreover, because of Voting Buddy’s powerful and objective algorithms (developed by an MIT engineering professor), it has already been integrated in public middle and high school social studies curricula to teach students about government, elections, and voting.
