- Additional information
- This output describes the design and deployment of the PosterVote tool, which expands the action repertoire of local political activism and can be used in a variety of contexts as it is lightweight, cheap (custom made hardware) and it doesn’t require special skills to set up and use. This paper and system inspired a novel turn to civic technology work in HCI (especially within EPSRC DERC and EPSRC Digital Civics funding) as it opened up a discussion about how people participate in the civic technologies that we build (e.g. governance, sustainability, and ownership).
