Selectricity Selected!

Mako’s project Selectricity tries to take election technology designed for governments and make it available for for everyone else. It tries to use the state of the art from the more traditional election technology world to build tools both to help people make better decisions in their every day life and to, in the process, rework their own relationship to the tools and processes of democracy.
The project was just given a grant to fund continued development as part of the Digital Incubator initiative by MTV and Cisco. More on the project is on the weblogs of the Director and Mako and in the more traditional press as well.
