Do something that makes people think they're not alone
Okay, bear with me.
Digital atomises everything innit.
But democracy is about community, movements, people coming together and stuff.
So how do we show that a voter is part of a bigger whole when they're on the site?
If candidates haven't filled in their bios/statements, we could do a "Push this counter if you want to hear from this candidate before the election." — which could count up the clicks ("47 people in your area have said they want to hear from this candidate"), making people feel part of something...
Dunno. Ideas please.
Maybe just "39 other voters in this area have looked at these candidates." (Probably best if it only shows when above 25 or something)
If your goal is a nudge then you don't even have to count views surely?
e.g. for General election You can just pick a random number above 400, then 4000 the week before then 20000 on the day ?
