DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
CitzVoice (Citizens' Voice) Progressive Web Application (PWA)
An application used by the citizens (electorates or constituents) to reach out to their representatives and vice versa. The application is a tool to get action, reaction, information, civic education, etc. on all matters pertaining to the citizens' well-being in their constituencies and indeed the Nation.
Why CitzVoice:
- Vibrant engagement—most constituents do not know what their representatives are doing as regards representing them. This application links the representative to the constituents and vice versa. This application links government (Federal, State, Local, etc.) and the constituents.
- Accurate information—48% of 18-29-year-olds get most of their political information from social media and there is a need for accurate information that can come from the representatives to the constituents and vice versa.
- It is important to have such an app in order to remove distrust between the government, the representatives, and the citizens.
- In this time and age, we cannot rely on information coming from third parties when the information can come straight from interested parties, and/or concerned parties directly.
- In democracies elections are used to understand what the electorates want, this time around we will be able to know what the electorates want in real-time. So that general elections can be won by candidates that are aligned with their electorate and indeed the citizens.
Application User Eligibility:
- Automatically built into the application are the linkages to the offices of Members of Congress, Senators, Lords, and Governments (Federal, State, and Local).
- Citizens registered to vote.
- Legal citizens but not registered to vote.
- Members of Congress and Senators (Federal, State, Local) in US. While in other countries—Members of Parliament, House of Lords, etc.
- Political Parties
- Donors
- Lobbyists
- Governments (Federal, State, Local, etc.)
- Corporations or companies
- Not-for-profit organizations
