Description

by Kelly Kasulis:

"Imagine getting your two cents in on local issues by voting in an app that wants to hear your thoughts on the city’s public parks, bus routes and designated smoking areas. That’s exactly what mVoting does.

Better yet, it’s effective: At least 181 proposals have turned into actual Seoul City policies. “It’s fairly unique around the world that a city would go through these efforts to really look at how services are delivered and ask for citizen feedback,” Marc Holzer, distinguished professor of public administration at Suffolk University’s Institute for Public Service, said in a phone interview with Mic. “Think about all the policy proposals put out there that are actually implemented as a result of this app.” (https://mic.com/articles/184290/mvoting-south-korea-mobile-app-voting-democracy#.l7t0qTK7U)
