Civic hacknight #373 - Waterloo Region Votes (VIRTUAL)

*This is the virtual registration for this event. To attend in person, please RSVP here.

Topic: Waterloo Region Votes

• Paul Nijjar from CivictechWR will give a quick tour of https://waterlooregionvotes.org , an election information portal used in the 2018 and 2022 Waterloo Region municipal elections. Paul will lead us through a tour of the site's main features, justify its existence, and touch on the technology stack that powers it.

Speaker: Paul Nijjar
