Will you be voting in the election on Tuesday? Check out the special badge and page Foursquare has put together to track voting trends and transparency. Right now, the page only shows a countdown timer to the opening of the polls on the East Coast and a link to Google's mini-app to find your polling place. When it goes live, it will contain more information on voting trends - not who is being voted for, but where the voting is happening.
(Heads up: Google's mini-app for finding your polling place may not work for all addresses. It couldn't find my polling place even though it is across the street from my apartment complex. It did give me a link to the state site to find the location.)
I Voted
I VOTED Goes live November 2, 2010
About
The I Voted data visualization and badge have been designed with three purposes in mind: to encourage civic participation, increase transparency in the voting process and develop a replicatable system for the 2012 Presidential Election. Until we launch, make sure you have what you need to go vote on November 2nd!
