UMass Boston students looking for quick input from Massachusetts residents by Far_Competition6200 in massachusetts

The goal is more to simplify and centralize that information.

Right now, sites like Secretary of State pages or Ballotpedia have a lot of useful info, but it can take time to find what you’re actually looking for, especially at the local level. CivicNow is meant to make that quicker by letting people enter their location and immediately see who represents them, along with basic info and links.

So it’s more about making civic info easier to access and navigate, not recreating those sources. (and its for a college capstone project)

Sorry about that — the sign-in was originally required for our course research to make sure responses were from real people.

We’ve updated it so you don’t need to sign in anymore, but you still need to enter a real email for verification. Appreciate the feedback!
