Politi-Score aggregates US political information into one comprehensive, non-partisan mobile app. By tailoring users’ experiences through their customized political profiles, Politi-Score easily allows users to educate themselves on the political issues that are most relevant to them, communicate about these issues with their elected officials, and vote on these issues with greater confidence. Users provide their address and top political interests, and Politi-Score updates them on the politicians and legislation that directly impact their lives. Users are then able to quickly and easily weigh in on the policies most important to them while they are being drafted and debated at the city, state or federal level.
