How can an app displaying voting location capacity and wait times help reduce the spread of COVID-19, as well as make the voting experience more efficient in the future?
Our new app will regularly update nearby voting locations (with parking, entrance directions, etc) for users and show live capacity limits. Each location will also show wait times for voting.
With the app, voters can choose to go vote during off-peak times. This will lessen the spread of COVID-19.
What's the purpose of this app after the pandemic ends?
Furthermore, this app will be very useful post-pandemic, because voters can avoid crowds and make the whole experience more efficient.
The app can also provide voter registration help, information on the issues and candidates, and a checklist on things voters need to bring to the location.
