CivicTech 2018: Technology, the Midterms and Your Vote
The 2016 elections galvanized political engagement, protest, and movement-building with an intensity and scale not seen since the late 1960’s. In the Bay Area and across the country, tech-savvy coders and leaders responded swiftly; creating new technologies and platforms to spur engagement, tackle increasing polarization, increase transparency and improve interactions between citizens and governance.
We march towards the 2018 midterm elections with the potential for technology to dramatically improve or disrupt our electoral process.
Join us and some of the leaders in this space for a discussion about what makes the intersection of technology and these Midterms so critical, examples of technologies designed to ignite civic engagement and the possibilities and limits of this burgeoning space.
