The Democracy Live Personalized Sample Ballot, the Video Voter Guide and the Online Voter Pamphlet all use the same simple setup.  Using existing County election data, an election can be set up for all the online applications in less than an hour.  All candidate content is approved by the County before going “live”, and a simple dashboard shows what changes need to be addressed.

The site is easily customized to reflect the look and feel of the existing County website.  The County’s Logo can be uploaded and colors selected that match the County’s existing color scheme.

The Democracy Live Voter Guide and Sample Ballot allow candidates to load statements, photos and videos directly for review by the County.  This is a powerful campaign tool for candidate on every level.

The Democracy Live Network is a direct interface for public officials and candidates to interface directly with the voters in their jurisdiction, without a media filter.

At the request of the State of Washington, the UW reviewed and has approved Democracy Live’s video voter guide for the highest level of accessibility for use by voters with disabilities.

“Speaking as an advisory board member and parent of 21 year old son, Brian, with Down Sydrome who is a registered voter I think this is great. Brian reads at a third grade level…so currently I take the voter pamphlet we receive at the house and read each item to him, but this way we can go online and hear the candidates talking. I applaud our entry to the 21st century.” – Teri Hough, DD Program Specialist.

“This site meets all accessibiliy requirements for web applications under Section 508 of the Rehabiliation Act of 1973, as amended.”- University of Washington Center on Technology & Disability Studies
