Pub Politics - Votenaweb
Política de Boteco (lit. Pub Politics) is a smartphone app created in 2014 that is intended to purvey issues of the legislative agenda to citizens through their cell phones to encourage their involvement in issues discussed in the National Congress. Bills that are considered controversial are indexed by the app and can be voted on (in favor or against), and classified as ?Urgent, Relevant, Courageous, Impractical, Irrelevant and Clueless". Citizens can also send comments on the projects, follow the projects or export the project to a website. The information is provided quantitatively through charts and demographic data, allowing the search of votes per index.
