Hack for LA

Thank you so much for offering to mentor and volunteer at Hack for LA 2014 on May 31 - June 1!  Please complete this survey by WEDNESDAY May 28, we're looking forward to having you on the team next weekend.

In the future, voting will be as simple as scratching your nose. Out of 2.5 million registered voters in Los Angeles, only 274,000 voted in the last mayoral elections. We can change that with the most sophisticated, secure online/mobile voting system that will partner with top security companies and government agencies to verify identity and cast votes. People don't vote because they don't believe in the system and because the system doesn't make it easy to vote. However people are constantly expressing their opinions on social media, processing mobile credit card transactions and giving up privacy for two reasons: Immediacy and Access. We believe if asked, people will be willing to give up the same amount of privacy for Transparency. In fact, the success of social media and mobile clearly say that people ARE actually asking for this. Any developers + designers interested in taking up the challenge?
