VIP’s New Home

From its inception two years ago, the Voting Information Project has changed in many ways, while remaining dedicated to our core mission. We always have and always will partner with states to provide official information for free to voters, and our goal of expanding VIP nationwide has never looked more possible.

What’s changed, however, is the excitement, creativity, and sense of community building around the innovative use of the information. Originally, our friends at Google and Credo Mobile were the only distributers of our data, and few others built applications to distribute VIP to the public. Over the past year, that’s all changed. From our in-house VIP Mobile site to AT&T/Politics 360’s iPhone app, an FWAB tool to help military/overseas voters, tools from Mobile Commons and Facebook, to Google’s embeddable gadget, we’ve seen an explosion in the desire to build applications that use our data, and we couldn’t be happier.

As a result, we’ve built our new site to reflect this new face of the project, you: the developers, designers, UX experts, engineers, state technology officials, and users of the world. We want you to have access to the growing voting information 2.0 community, with the ability to contribute to VIP projects and get involved, engage with fellow election tech geeks, and learn about VIP’s innovative projects.

We need your feedback to ensure that happens. So, how can our new website better serve you? Fire us an e-mail, leave comments below, or send us a tweet @votinginfo. We can’t wait to continue our work with you!
