Description

@sseshan7

There are tons of elections in this country.

Federal:

  • Congressional: Every 2 years. 1/3 of senators of every election.
  • Presidential election: Every 4 years

For every state in the US, can we compile:

  • polling data by county for presidential (minimum), and congressional races (minimum)

At any point in time, can we provide a live list of:

  • Presidential candidates by party
  • Congressional candidates by party

This can be a one-stop-shop for users trying to learn about upcoming elections. They will also be able to see their voting records and bills sponsored through votes/bills section of the site.

State:

  • Governor (gubernatorial)
  • State legislature

Each state has it's own timetable and rules for holding different elections. Can we aggregate that information nationally?
For every state in the US, can we compile:

  • Gubernatorial election dates
  • State legislature election dates
  • Polling data by county for gubernatorial (minimum), and legislature

At any point in time, can we provide a live list of:

  • Gubernatorial candidates by party (minimum)
  • State legislature candidates by party

Local:

  • City mayor
  • Other officials like judges, school board, chief of police, etc.

Once again, each municipality has a different timetable and rules. Different positions appear on the ballot in different cities/counties.
For every county in the US, can we compile:

  • Mayor election dates
  • List of other officials that get elected, and corresponding dates
  • Polling data for mayor (minimum) and other officials

At any point in time, can we provide a live list of:

  • Mayoral candidates by party
