What a great concept
I'm using this app in Florida. I love how easy it is to vote on the bills that are being considered in the special session. Great concept!
Fantastic Idea
This needs to be implemented at the federal level. This project and I hope it’s growth and continuation will be a big win for democracy globally.
Verification issue
The verification code I received in my email did not work. The one on Facebook did work. Please fix
Digital Democracy
I use this app as part of the Digital Democracy project down in Florida. Very cool. It feels like the future.
Verification Broken
This requires you to verify your identity (a good thing), however when I attempt to take a picture of my face the app will not take the picture. I have tried everything from getting into better lighting to changing what is in the background, it just will not take the photo. I am on a 3rd Generation SE and am wondering if it is because my front facing camera doesn't support Face ID. My wife using an iPhone 13 was able to verify with no issues. If this app requires a specific front facing camera it should really say that in the description, or give you the option to manually take the photo.
Useless
Identity verification requires both a photo of a government ID and a live photo of the voter taken within the app. The app is supposed to take these photos when you’ve positioned the ID Card/your head within the frames the app shows you. Problem: could not get it to take a photo of my face. I tried repositioning my face every which way, changing lighting, moving camera closer or farther, changing background. App never takes the picture. I conclude that this app is a complete waste of time. YMMV.
Great app for expat voting
Oregon pioneered universal vote by mail in 1989 and now has a pilot project for military and expat voting using Voatz. The older reviews seem dated: my experience today was easy, seamless and secure. A great step forward in universal enfranchisement.
