It’s election season! This November, every municipality in British Columbia—and other regions—will be going to the polls. As a reader of this blog, you know the importance of engaging citizens and supporting them in the exercise of their democratic rights and responsibilities. Community engagement is a critical aspect of promoting this.
PlaceSpeak’s unique geo-authentication tools can help local governments to engage with voters in the upcoming election. Our platform allows you to connect easily with voters in your area and only your area. This year, PlaceSpeak is making available our premium package FREE to Chief Election Officers during the election period to support their community engagement.
