Edmonton Civic Election 2013

This is post 5 of 10 to be brought over from the Tumblr blog.

If you’re like us, you like to do your civic duty and vote but you may not be sure what ward you’re in, the candidates seem like a bewildering array of people that you barely recognize, and it seems like a lot of work to decide on someone to vote for and to work out how and where to actually vote.

So we have help for you… in the form of the Edmonton Civic Election Linelo document/webapp. Here is what it looks like:

In it we have all the candidates across the city, with links to every website so with one click you can see what the candidate has to say. There’s a link to the City of Edmonton widget that tells you what Ward you live in, and where you should be voting. It even has Twitter, Facebook, and telephone links for the mayoral candidates (other candidates to come).

Over the next few days we’ll be adding the twitter and facebook links for the remaining candidates, as well as adding links to profiles, editorial commentary etc. related to each one.

Any comments or suggestions related to this are most welcome. Let’s vote Edmonton — Monday Oct 21st.
