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.
