GloPoll

Social polling with social impact GloPoll makes political influence accessible for all by measuring and leveraging public opinion to hold power accountable. We use big data to make democracy work for everybody. What we already built are online forums for every city, state, and country in the world. Here citizens can express opinions in the form of agree/disagree polls. This format quickly highlights areas where there is mass consensus and paves the way for progress. GloPoll tests these opinion trends with the daily Civic Survey, which asks randomly selected users to respond to trending polls from the GloPoll forums. Users get rewards for responding to the Civic Survey, and can earn more rewards for responding to other surveys. To advance our mission, we publish our Civic Survey data publicly to help incumbent and aspiring elected officials represent the people in the target area. GloPoll data makes elections everywhere more competitive, by allowing the underdog candidate (who has less money but better policy positions) a fighting chance at getting elected. GloPoll forums give citizens a platform where their opinions matter and the best ones will build traction and trigger action. GloPoll forums are the one place online where citizens are as equal, anonymous, and powerful as they are on Election Day. Unlike Election Day, GloPoll has no paid fast lane, and citizens get to engage directly with issues. GloPoll leverages public opinion to create accessible influence for all.
