What is Drive Turnout?
Drive Turnout is a mobile application designed to empower individuals to make a meaningful impact during elections by helping friends in swing states. The app focuses on Pennsylvania, a critical battleground state with complex mail-in ballot rules, and assists users in tracking the voting status of their contacts. It facilitates access to phone address books, Facebook contacts, and Pennsylvania's ballot tracking system while maintaining user privacy by operating entirely on the device and not sharing private information with servers.
The app enables users to manage which contacts are in Pennsylvania, monitor who has voted successfully, and identify those who may need assistance. By providing tools to check ballot statuses and coordinate outreach, Drive Turnout helps ensure that votes are not invalidated due to technical issues like "naked ballots." It serves as a centralized platform for election-related tracking and communication, supporting voter turnout efforts in key areas.
