Can an App Drive More Voters to the Polls in 2020?

TurboVote helps subscribers register to vote, find polling places, and research candidates and measures. The app was launched by Democracy Works, a team of software developers and civic organizers created by Seth Flaxman and Kathryn Peters, former classmates at the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University.

Increasing Voter Turnout

“We have elections every single week,” said Seth Flaxman, who runs the nonprofit organization Democracy Works and TurboVote, an app that texts or emails people voting reminders, instructions and forms. “We’ve given out information for over 2,000 races so far this year. Each of them has vote-by-mail deadlines, absentee ballot deadlines and the appropriate forms that people need.”

Democracy Works has already signed up seven million voters who can now use a free online tool called TurboVote to find out where their nearest polling station is, when they need to vote, and how to use postal voting systems. Flaxman hopes to raise this total to 10 million next year.
