Michigan - Canton Township
Program Title
Data Driven Election Program: Proposed
Program Summary
Canton Township has developed a proposed data driven election research program whereas, in 2022, Canton Township plans to utilize volunteers to act as exit pollsters at polling locations. The pollsters will operate a responsive digital survey utilizing tablets, mobile devices, or laptop computers to answer general questions about the voter's election experience. The Clerk's Office will then try to quantify data regarding election wait times, accessibility, desired language accommodations, and several other metrics to drive further innovation and direct responsiveness in the Clerk's Office. This data will drive change, democratically, directly into the democratic process. A link will be distributed via social media so that voters can also relay their experience with mail voting, and answer the survey from the comfort of their home. This data will also be visualized and provided in a public report. A draft of the survey can be viewed here: https://cantonclerk.typeform.com/to/vIYYk8Oo
