PollSee is on a mission to modernize civic engagement in New York City and beyond. The iOS app empowers NYC voters to propose bills directly to their elected officials—using AI to turn plain-English policy ideas into drafted legislation. Nationwide, PollSee connects users with information about their representatives and upcoming elections.
To keep this innovative work moving forward, PollSee relies on the Democracy Works Elections API for essential civic infrastructure. Our Elections API provides authoritative civic data that ensures users are mapped to the correct electoral district. This supports PollSee’s grassroots mission, helping voters seamlessly advocate for their community and removing operational barriers for the platform.
“The Elections API is a valuable tool because reliable civic data is hard to maintain and source. The Elections API removes the friction and allows GovTech organizations like mine to focus on building new experiences instead of rebuilding basic infrastructure.” -- Shruti Gupta
Shruti Gupta, PollSee’s Technical Founder, shared how the Elections API provides a foundation for the platform to scale its work and support further innovation. For PollSee, the Elections API helps connect the dots between elections, districts, and citizen participation.
Watch the video to hear directly from Gupta how PollSee is empowering everyday New Yorkers—and how the Elections API supports those efforts. Democracy Works is proud to partner with PollSee to make participatory democracy a reality, one community proposal at a time.
