Digital Democracy is like YouTube for local government hearings, bolstered with a splash of artificial intelligence. Bots create transcripts of lawmakers’ every official utterance at the state house and use face recognition software to keep track of who’s speaking. Voters can search the transcripts by speaker and subject while at the same time getting a glimpse of legislators’ financial ties.

The Digital Democracy site allows clear and comprehensible access to important data about elected State officials: records of how they voted, who contributed money to their campaigns, relationships with lobbyists, video records of hearings and testimonies, and transcriptions of the same. CivicActions lead the effort to rebuild the existing Drupal 7 platform in Drupal 8, and transform the single-state architecture to a scalable, real-time, multi-state, re-brandable solution.
